I’m not expecting ministerial appointment from Buhari- Tunde Bakare

 In an interview with Sahara TV yesterday, the General Overseer of Latter Rain Assembly, Pastor Tunde Bakare, said he is not expecting to be appointed a minister in President Buhari's cabinet.

Ministry is my calling and my life. The word minister means servant. When you expect nothing, you cannot be disappointed.

If an opportunity presents itself, I will do it again. I am not seeking anything.
