The general overseer of the Latter Rain Assembly, Pastor Tunde Bakare has said that education in shambles , health care delivery, infrastructural deficit did not start with Buhari but that what many people are saying is that even though there was corruption under former President Goodluck Jonathan life was much better.
Tunde Bakare in an interview by Heritage Media in Calgary, Canada, went on to defend President Buhari for not appoint ministers for six months saying that it was because there was no money to pay them. He said, “Development under President Buhari has been slow because as he said, he inherited an empty treasury. For six months, he could not appoint ministers because there was no money to pay them, and little by little, thank God, oil picked up. But a person like Obasanjo will now attack him and say, rightly, the price of oil had fallen completely and I met an empty treasury but I didn’t give excuses, I worked.
“But the difference is this, Obasanjo assembled the best, the brightest from across the nations of the earth, economists that knew their onions, to begin to help steer the affairs of the nation, and that is less seen in this administration. The allegations by the Nigerian public is that those around the president are also stealing, and some names have been mentioned. You cannot be a clean man surrounded by rogues, if you don’t deal with those rogues, they would colour you with the same tar.”
On Buhari’s government achievement he said. “For three years, we are no longer importing rice and that is an incredible achievement, seventeen local government occupied by Boko Haram no longer an issue.”
