The presidential candidate for the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) has finally chosen Pastor Tunde Bakare as his running mate for the forthcoming general elections this year. The spokesperson of the presidential candidate, Mr. Yinka Udomakin, made this known while speaking to Daily Trust on the political update as the INEC deadline of submission of names of party candidates ended yesterday.
Tunde Bakare of Latter Rain Assembly Lagos, convener of the Save Nigeria Group, is a Nigerian Pentecostal pastor who received national and international attention for his televangelism. He was in March 2002 reportedly arrested after sermons apparently critical of then-president Olusegun Obasanjo.
