Pastor Tunde Bakare, the General Overseer, Citadel Global Community Church, says Nigeria is descending into tyranny and abuse of power under the Bola Ahmed Tinubu administration.
Presenting the state of the nation’s address this Sunday in his church in Lagos, Pastor Bakare alleged that those in power are determined to destabilize Nigeria’s political institutions.
He further decried Nigeria’s escalating poverty and economic hardships and made it clear that unless pragmatic actions are taken, the anger of the poor could lead to political, social and economic unrest.
The outspoken man of God therefore called on Tinubu to embrace humility, seek wise counsel, and make decisions that would ensure Nigeria’s recovery.
He wrote:
“Dear Nigerians, the past few months, since that admonition in January, I’ve shown that those responsible for sharing the cause of our nation lack the humility and the character this moment demands of leaders.
“Instead, what we have seen since the beginning of the year is a descent into tyranny and a brazen abuse of power.
“Those entrusted with power appear determined to destabilise what is left of our political institutions, and have committed themselves to obliterating the guardrails of constitutional governance,” the cleric said.
