"We don’t need cow, we need a country that will move forward!" - Pastor Tunde Bakare Rejects President Jonathan's Cow Gift

Me no want cow - Pastor Tunde Bakare on Sunday told his congregation at the Latter Rain Church about the presidential package he received from the president and why he rejected it. President Jonathan is said to have sent a cow gift to the spiritual leader cum politician.

Bakare said; “I had a cow from the Presidency. I didn’t ask for it. They dropped it at the Save Nigeria Group office… But is it cow that we need? If you check their books, one cow could have been bought for $5,000. The rest of the money is pocketed! We don’t need cow, we need a country that will move forward!” 

“they prevailed on me not to return it. Thanks for the cow, but no thanks! That means no cow for me next year (laughs). But we will have good roads, schools etc! We are the cause of our problems. We feel big when Mr President sends us hampers etc… We go to them for contracts etc… Until we change ourselves, we cannot expect change from those who lead us!”

Do you think Bakare was right to reject the gift?
