Pastor Tunde Bakare has urged Nigerians to accept the reality of Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s presidency and focus on praying for him to lead the country rightly. Speaking during a sermon, Bakare emphasized the importance of dealing with national issues objectively, rather than attacking personalities.
“Whether you like it or not, Tinubu is the president of Nigeria today. Until he finishes, until his term is over, you can only pray for him to do right by Nigeria,” he declared.
Bakare recalled how he had previously warned political leaders, particularly in the South-West, to step back and reflect. He said, “You remember in 2022, I preached a message here: an idle man’s brain is a devil’s workshop. I gave you the version of that proverb by Turkish people—that the devil, Satan, tempts every man, but an idle man tempts Satan.”
He went on to say, “I began to tell our leaders, especially in Yorubaland, to back off. Tinubu has no father. Tinubu has no mother. Tinubu has no degree. Tinubu is fraudless. Tinubu is corrupt. You are all looking at yourself. They rose up against me that day, and you know some concluded Tinubu must have given him money.”
In the face of backlash, Bakare maintained his stance, asserting that his statements were based on principles and not personal vendettas. “Be careful, because I deal with issues, not persons,” he said. “I’ve stood here, I’ve sat here, and I’ve said whatever I think towards him—may God do so to me seven times over.”
With this message, Bakare appeared to be calling on Nigerians to set aside political bias and focus on holding leaders accountable while praying for their success for the sake of the nation.
