I am not aware of heading any Transition Commitee- Pastor Tunde Bakare

The pastor of the Latter rain assembly has denied any knowledge of his appointment by the president elect- General Buhari to head any transition commitee.

Speaking to Daily Trust through his spokesperson, Mr Yinka Odumakin denied the transition committee appointment.

He said: “This is news to Pastor Bakare also. He read it in This Day Newspaper as others did this morning.”

He attributed the report to mischief makers saying, “mischief makers are at work as usual.”

When contacted, the spokesperson of the Buhari campaign office, Malam Garba Shehu also denied the report, saying he wasn’t aware of Bakare’s appointment.

In an interview in Daura, Buhari had said the transition committee when put in place would comprise of patriotic and knowledgeable Nigerians and will have more technocrats than politicians.

Bakare was Buhari’s running mate in the 2011 presidential election under the platform of the defunct Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) but they lost to the President Goodluck Jonathan.
