The Senior Pastor of the church opened up and denied such rumor as baseless.

The pastor, said he never told anyone that Coscharis was the source of the car gift he rejected during his 60th birthday celebrations.
The Serving Overseer of Latter Rain Assembly and President of Latter Rain Ministries, Pastor Tunde Bakare, has refuted an online story which claimed that Cosmas Maduka of Coscharis Motors had attempted to bribe him with a Rolls Royce Phantom luxury car.

The pastor, speaking on the phone from Lagos, said he never told anyone that Coscharis was the source of the car gift he rejected during his 60th birthday celebrations.

He said the car was not an “attempted bribe”, as reflected in an online circulated story, but a gift. He explained that he rejected it because he did not need a luxury car of that magnitude while Nigerians wallow in abject poverty.

Asked if he knew how the car was purchased or by whom, Pastor Bakare said he couldn’t tell, but vehemently denied that Coscharis had anything to do with it. Coscharis has not officially denied involvement in the car gift saga. The automart had publicly stated in 2013 that it has the official franchise as the sole distributor of Rolls Royce cars in Nigeria.

The All Progressives Congress, APC, has expelled Rauf Aregbesola, a former Minister of Interior and ex-Osun State Governor, over alleged anti-party activities.

 

Aregbesola, who was a two-term governor of Osun State had been having a running battle with the Osun chapter of the APC in recent times.

 

The disagreement with the APC led him into forming a factional group within the party, known as The Osun Progressive (TOP) which later mutated into the Omoluabi Caucus.

 

 

 

A letter from the APC leadership seen by newsmen on Wednesday officially confirmed Aregbesola’s expulsion.

 

The letter, titled “Allegations of Anti-Party Activities – Conveyance of State Exco Decision to You,” accused him of breaching Article 21 of the party’s constitution, which outlines disciplinary measures for members.

 

The letter read in part, “At the end of the investigation, the State Executive Committee (SEC) considered the report of the Disciplinary Committee. Having carefully reviewed the findings and recommendations, the SEC resolved to approve your immediate expulsion from the APC.

 

 

The decision was predicated on clear evidence of your actions, which undermined the unity and integrity of the party. As a result, you are no longer a member of the APC and must refrain from holding yourself out as one or acting on behalf of the party in any capacity.”
