Vice-Presidential
candidate for the Congress for Progressive Change in 2011 elections,
Pastor Tunde Bakare, has called on the government to prosecute those who
illegally benefitted from fuel subsidy.
The Serving Overseer,
Latter Rain Assembly, spoke at the church’s auditorium on Sunday while
delivering the Part Four of a sermon titled, ‘Intervention in
Governance: Wisdom for Public Service’.
The cleric, who used the
biblical story of King Solomon and the two women who brought a case
over the maternity of a child to him as a metaphor, stated that
President Goodluck Jonathan must do justice to Nigerians by ensuring
that the subsidy fraud was thoroughly investigated.
He said, “God will give
the President the wisdom on how to do it. A leader needs wisdom to
administer justice. Wisdom is the tree of life. The subsidy issue must
not be swept under the carpet. There should be justice because there can
never be peace without justice.
“This is not a matter of
politics. We should fix the problem before the problem fixes us. There
should be no attempt to sweep the matter under the carpet, else every
other thing will not work. We need to know who collected certain amount
of money and what it was used for.”
