2023; Bakare Declares Intention, Criticises Zoning

Pastor Tunde Bakare, the founder of Citadel Global Community Church (previously known as Latter Rain Assembly), has stated that he may run for President in 2023.

According to him, he will run for president if God and the people of Nigeria so want. This follows his meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari today, during which he criticised zoning.

He did, however, express his support for electronic voting in the 2023 elections and later ones, claiming that it will safeguard eligible voters from disenfranchised.

Bakare made the remarks after a private meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Friday.

On power rotation, Bakare stated, “I had said it on October 3. It’s our immaturity, politically and otherwise, that makes us say power must either be in the North or be in the South, instead of looking for the best, the fittest, the most competent, and people of character, who love this nation.

“Listen to me, if where the president comes from will make the place he has come from to be better, the northern part of Nigeria should be the richest and should be the most progressive and the most developed because out of 61 years, the north has produced either the president or heads of state for 40 to 41 years, and yet see the retrogression in the North.

“If it’s from the South, why should a person like President Obasanjo freeze and seize the account of Lagos State in his own tenure? If it’s from South-South or South-East why couldn’t President Jonathan use all his powers to develop South-South/South-East?

“Not where they come from, it’s what they carry and what they have to offer. May the best of the best of Nigerians rise, whether they’re from the east, from the west, from the north, and from the south.l

“If there are agreements between politicians among themselves on rotation, a bargain is a bargain. That’s between them. But as far as this country is concerned, what we need at this stage is a man who can drive us to the Eldorado.”
