Convener of Save Nigeria Group (SNG), Pastor Tunde Bakare, has said he would have loved that Muhammadu Buhari contest as an independent candidate in the 2015 general election, just as he admitted that it was not possible because “there is no room for it either in the constitution or our electoral act.”

Bakare, who served as running mate to Buhari in the 2011 presidential election on the platform of the defunct Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), said the major reason he agreed to work with the retired general was on account of his integrity. He also expressed fears that getting too close to politicians might tarnish Buhari’s image.

“When I decided to go to CPC, I looked at the integrity of General Buhari. And I still believe, up to this moment, that Buhari is a man of honour, virtue and integrity. And I have wished he could be an independent candidate, but he has to function in a political party.
