Media personality and TV host, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, has reacted to the claim by founder of Latter Rain Assembly, Pastor Tunde Bakare, that he will succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023.
The 37-year-old made a short response to the claim in a tweet on Monday.

Reacting, he simply wrote: “Oh!!!”
Speaking during a sermon in November 2018 at his church in Lagos, Bakare said nothing could stop it because he was born for that purpose.

The cleric said God had prepared him for the nation’s top job for more than 30 years.
“I will succeed Buhari as President of Nigeria, nothing can change it. I am number 16, Buhari is number 15. I never said it to you before. I am saying it now and nothing can change it,” he said.
“In the name of Jesus, he is number 15. I am number 16. To this end was I born and for this purpose came I into the world. I have prepared you for this for more than 30 years.”

Bakare was Buhari’s running mate in the 2011 presidential election.
