Tunde Bakare spoke at a
conference yesterday shortly after his Sunday morning sermon titled, ‘The birth
pangs of a new Nigeria’.
Pastor Tunde Bakare, leader
of the Latter Rain Assembly and former vice-presidential candidate of the
defunct Congress for Progressive Change has blamed the political terrain of
Nigeria for the choice of an elderly president in person of Muhammadu Buhari.
In his words:
'If you want to know
whether the President (Muhammadu Buhari) is getting better (and) recovering, I
said in the course of that message he’s on the sure path to recovery. Give him
time. The Niger Republic has not seen their president for a while. Nigeria
needs an energetic leader but the circumstances of our polity have brought us
to where we are that the same country that the likes of (Yakubu) Godwin ruled
at the age of 30 is now considering people in their 60s and 70s to administer
it.
He continued to say:
“What happened in France
recently is a clear sign that there is going to be a change of guards almost
worldwide. But let’s accept our own thing and resolve our issues with
wisdom. (Between) the man in the
intensive care unit and the doctor treating him or wishing him dead, you don’t
know who will die first. If God sent Isaiah back to go and tell Hezekiah that
He was adding 15 years to his life, He is the only one who can do what he wills
to do. Nobody should wish another person dead. We should just pray, because you
would put Nigeria in disaster.”
