Pastor
Tunde Bakare of Latter Rain Assembly according to reports got cow gifts
from the Presidency and the Ogun State Government during the Christmas,
but appealed to the President to face the task of providing basic
necessities of life for Nigerians rather than sending cow gifts.
Pastor Bakare said that the cow and hampers were dropped at his Save Nigerian Group (SNG) office in Lagos, but he rejected the gift because 'a cow is not what president Jonathan should be giving to people now but a country that works'.
“I was prevailed upon not to return the gifts like the late Gani Fawehinmi did to (Buba) Marwa, when Marwa was the military governor of Lagos State. I don’t eat such meat. That does not mean that I will not tell the President to face his work and do it well. We need good roads; not cow. We need water, power supply; not cow meat,” he said.
