Former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani, has revealed why popular Pentecostal pastor, Tunde Bakare, who declared interest in the 2023 presidential race, under the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), is yet to purchase form.
On his tweet, Wednesday, the former senator said: “My Great Pastor Bakare yet to get signal from heaven to purchase form.”
The Ogun State declared his interest at the ‘Unveiling Project 16 to Nigerians in diaspora’ event tagged “The portrait is a new Nigeria” held virtually on Saturday.
Bakare described the past administrations as “cake eaters” adding that it is time to have the 16th administration of “cake bakers.”
He was President Muhammadu Buhari’s running mate in 2011 when the latter ran unsuccessfully in that year’s presidential poll.

Bakare’s declaration came on the same day the former governor of Rivers State and Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, formally declared his intention to join the race to Aso Rock.
The cleric’s declaration also pits him against APC bigwigs, including the former Lagos State governor, Bola Tinubu; former Abia State governor, Orji Kalu; former Imo State governor, Rochas Okorocha, and Governors Yahaya Bello and Dave Umahi of Kogi and Ebonyi states respectively.
