Rain Assembly, Tunde Bakare, has
declared that he will not partake of the
N12m that the Goodluck Jonathan
government is paying delegates to the
3-month National Conference in Abuja
which commences on Monday.
Pastor Bakare, representing Ogun at the
conference, said he made the decision
not to collect the money to be paid to
delegates in order to dispel any
negative speculation. He said Nigerians
deserve sincere service:
"A friend of mine called me this
(Sunday) morning that he heard
on the radio that 'Pastor Bakare
had accepted to go, that his own
fee is N12m'. Pastor Bakare will
not take a kobo in the National
Conference .
"I will not take a penny. It has
nothing to do with others; that is
by choice. We go with integrity of
heart, it is not money. The God of
heaven will prosper us."
Each of the 492 delegates to the
Conference would be paid N4m per
month for the three month duration
and this has been the subject of
controversy and several Nigerians have
condemned the amount to be spent.
Announcing to his church members that
he had accepted to be a delegate at the
conference, Bakare said:
"What I say here is what I will do there.
I do not say others should do it, but I
intend to do that so that our heart can
remain pure. That does not mean the
hearts of others are not pure but I
don't want anybody to think in any
slight manner that the motive is this.
"This is the moment we have been
waiting for, for this end I was born.
Nigeria will be saved, Nigeria will be
changed, and Nigeria will become
great."
