Pastor Tunde Bakare Says He’s Under Pressure To Join ADC But ‘ll Never Take Part In It

Founder of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, has disclosed that he is under pressure to join the African Democratic Congress (ADC) but will however not take part in it.

Team@orientactualmags.com  learned that Pastor Tunde Bakare said this during the maiden edition of the Citadel School of Governance Dialogue Series in Oregun, Lagos on Saturday which was called ‘Nigeria at 65: Historical Reflections, Futuristic Projection’.

‘There has been a lot of pressure on me from who is who to join ADC. They come to my house. Even while I was abroad, the hierarchy of that party kept calling, saying they needed my voice’ he said.

The popular pastor has however submitted that joining ADC was never under consideration.

‘I am not going to take part in ADC. The last time I knew about ADC was about a plane that crashed. I wish them well, because we need a robust opposition. But you don’t birth a child called APC and then try to kill it yourself. We are not going to have another Awolowo–Akintola crisis in the Southwest’ he said.

Pastor Bakare also said Tinubu became the president through Divine support and only God can end his presidency.

‘If God wants to remove ‘emilokan,’ He knows how to do it. You can’t get the kind of thing Tinubu has brought without God’s support’ he added.

The Guest Speaker, Professor Akinjide Osuntokun, a former Nigerian Ambassador to Germany, identified corruption and tribalism as Nigeria’s greatest challenges noting that where the president hails from is not important but the delivery of good governance.

‘The two problems our country is facing are corruption and tribalism. If there is a way of eradicating these two evils, we will be alright. Corruption is the father or mother of tribalism. If the money being stolen was available for development, Nigeria would be far better.

The fact that Tinubu is president does not automatically improve the life of an average Yoruba man, just as an Igbo presidency will not improve the life of the ordinary Igbo man if there is no development’ he said-Team@orientactualmags.com  Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
