Pastor Tunde Bakare, leader of Citadel Global Community Church, has said he turned down President Bola Tinubu's offer to become a minister because he is too old for the job.
Speaking at Envoy Nation in Leicester on Sunday, he said he told Tinubu he would instead help the government quietly, in whatever way he thinks will benefit the country.
Bakare said he has never been part of the opposition.
He described himself as someone who points out problems and offers solutions when he sees something wrong.
According to our source he said that he is a full member of the APC and will vote for the party when the time comes, adding that he will not keep switching parties.
