Rev. Tunde Bakare, senior pastor of Latter Rain Assembly, and convener of Save Nigeria Group (SNG), has denied claims by Sahara reporters that fifty thousand dollars was offered to members of the group as bribe in exchange for their support, during a recent visit with President Goodluck Jonathan.
In a telephone conversation with huhuonline.com, Rev Bakare said, “We visited the president, we made our position known to him, and were offered transport money, but we rejected it, based on integrity. “It was not a bribe” he affirmed.
This is getting confusing. I don't know what to think anymore.

I don't know how GEJ will even have 50,000 dollars to be throwing about. And they took it? I guess as evidence. Goodluck has to come out and talk before anyone can conclude.
The art of double speak..and dude is meant to be some top Pastor..what's the congregation to think when our Pastor decides to lie..what happened to I fear no man but the Lord!!
Well it was quite obvious to me it wasn't a bribe. If you've rolled in those govt circles :), $50k is just about right for hold and buy sweet or as transport - certainly not for bribe.
Excuse me, N7.5m is not that much money - if GEJ doesnt have that kind of money, then there is a problem.
Infact let me not start, how much is $20k really or is it the $ confusing pple.
Is this one double -reporting cos he's supposed to be a man of God...yeah,I'm sure he's a man of God..that's my own opinion oo. I don't listen to his messages cos he's too on the offensive, but there was someone like that in the bible, soo i just mind my business and keep of his messages...but the few i've listened to were sound!...i also don't dig his giving out immature prophecies...but every man is fallible!
Na wa o!..transport to where..Antartica??...GEJ..mehn you don't need all this crap..and your wifey apparently has some big a.zz yatch bayed somewehere in Lagos...confirmed!!
Nigerian Politicians are thieves.
Nigerian pastors are rogues 99.9% of them are in the clergy for $$$s.
Please wait... $$$s LOADING. LOADING. LOADING into their pockets while poor people dey suffer for Nigeria.
GEJ have started rigging election before election start. He wants the pastors to get their members to vote for him. Pastor Chris Oyakhilome's arm is being twisted by EFCC on behalf of GEJ. Watch, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome will come to an arrangement with Goodluck Jonathan and his party and the money laundry charges against him will be dropped.
EFCC is the gestapo of whichever rotten and corrupt vagaborn that is in power in Nigeria.
5OK USD transport money?? Where were they going? The Moon?
transport fare.........outright bribe, as far as na naija, ALL NA BRIBE. brandishing it with a pretty name won't change a thing.
Oh please, tell that to the kids in elementary school. Transport money ko, transport money ni. Was the church threatened? Why are they suddenly changing their story? I'm inclined to believe the first story that they were bribed....

i said it..he talks too much..and someone was insulting me for criticizing him... i knew it wasn't a bribe from the get-go...
$50,000 transportation money doesnt make any sense...And even if it was transportation money, which funds did he use...Government or personal? GEJ is obviously going to continue the culture of wasteful spending..."Which way forward Nigeria?"
Sahara reporters are fond of manipulating comments and news, I personally do not regard any news from Sahara as News. They are unprofessional; look at how their reporter communicated with Gov. Fashola at the London Press release. grossly unprofessional.
I don't understand... we are trying to criminalize GEJ for bribery but the accuser changed the story over night...
perhaps.. he is scared! ish!!!!
corruption and lies
of course it cant be a bribe. how can that small amount of money be a bribe???? even me self can dash them

Please where have you seen the briber say to the bribee i am giving you bribe???
It is called money for lunch, transport money, etc.
People Wake up.
Don't really get this pastor sha i thought the story was different two days ago?
Well we are all waiting to see.
First of all, just because I come to you and say that Jonathan sent me doesn't mean that he did. I feel sorry for Jonathan because he has just as many people in his camp trying to undermine his leadership as he does outside his camp.
I believe that Tunde Bakare started out saying he was bribed and is now changing his story as part of a larger orchestrated political drama. He ain't ish
Transport money of $50,000 equates to a bribe. Same difference!
Nigerian film and tv addict are u for real??? 50,000 dollars is not bribe com'on are u soo dump,when offering bibe do u tell the reciever that its a bribe ur givin, u couch the words to suit u..''use this as transport fare,take and buy drink,etc'' all na bribe ok??? SMH....

Speaking from the 2 sides of his mouth?
Alas! the people who were saying he should had kept quiet are now vindicated!
Haba! Pastor Tunde Bakare, you fall my hand na i be carry high for you before o.
Ade_Cool God bless you! You took the exact words out of my mouth! Is he goin to Antartica???
Transport money or sky-diving money,call it whatever....Nigeria is still so fucking corrupt.
Whether its transport fare or mineral money the main thing is dt the money is too much jor! how can u give someone 7.5m for transport? you wan make he go buy d car wey go transport am ni? it all boils down to corruption, abeg make i go visit JEG sha o maybe i go collect transport money too...anu wa shi ogiri.
Meanwhile, Pastor Bakare should watch it o, cos very soon people wont take his words serious again.
