Bakare: 'I am not expecting to be named a minister into Buhari's cabinet'

The General Overseer of Latter Rain Assembly, Pastor Tunde Bakare has said that he is not expecting President Muhammadu Buhari to appointment him into his cabinet.

Bakare was among other delegates who accompanied Buhari to the US on the president's 3-day official state visit (July 20 - July 23).

Here's what the 60-year-old Nigerian prophetic-apostolic pastor had to share with Sahara Reporters in an interview on Thursday July 30.

"As far as I am concerned, I am not expecting to be named a minister,'' Bakare told SR. ''If I am offered an appointment, when I get to that bridge I will cross it. I am already a minister of the gospel. Ministry is my calling and my life. The word minister means servant. When you expect nothing, you cannot be disappointed. I keep on doing what I am doing, to be a solid supporter of the Buhari movement and what he stands for in public life. I have no regret on what I did in 2011. If an opportunity presents itself, I will do it again. I am not seeking anything. Let’s not count chickens before they are hatched. The bible says the expectation of the righteous will not be cut off. That is when the expectation of the righteous is in tandem with God’s expectation. If you are expecting from God, the flesh can fail. Who knows tomorrow? In the next two months, when the ministers would be named, what if nobody is here or alive? ''
