The controversial general overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare has picked the All Progressives Congress, APC, expression of interest and nomination forms for the Presidency.
Bakare picked the forms in Abuja on Thursday ahead of his official declaration next week.
Africa Daily News New York reports that reports that the ruling party had pegged the forms at N100 million.
Recall that in September 2019, the clergyman had claimed that God told him he would succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023.
That particular assertion had got many Nigerians talking on the possibility of that happening given the fact that he wasn’t an active member of the APC.

In April 2022, Bakare said he was the most suitable Nigerian to address the problems bedevilling the country.
The likes of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, Bola Tinubu, Nwajiuba, and the Minister of State for Education, have all picked the aspiration forms for the party.
Bakare also pointed out that he is the best suitable candidate to address the problems confronting Nigeria.
The pastor-cum-politician disclosed this on Saturday at the virtual meeting unveiling Project 16 to Nigerians in diaspora with the theme The portrait of a new Nigeria, organized by the PTB4Nigeria in diaspora group.
Bakare urged Nigerians to consider the capacity of candidates before electing a leader in 2023.
The cleric warned that ahead of the 2023 general elections, the south is being set against the north, while Christians are set against Muslims.
He said: ‘The PTB brand is a rallying point for all Nigerians. I have a vision of a new Nigeria and I will play a leading role as we approach the Nigeria of our dreams.’
He, however, said he remains the rallying point to restore order in the country.
