Tinubu Has Tried His Best, But His Best May Not Be Good Enough for Nigeria— Pastor Tunde Bakare

Founder of Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, has said President Bola Tinubu has done his best for Nigeria, adding that it is up to Nigerians to decide whether he deserves another term.

Bakare spoke at Envoy Nation in Leicester on Sunday, saying Nigerians have the right to either retain or change their leaders.

He said, “Nigerians have the right to change their leaders. They also have the right to affirm their leaders. It is up to them to decide what they want. As you lay your bed, so you will lie on it. Sometimes, the devil you know is better than the angel that is not tested yet.
But I leave it to every man to do what he pleases.”

The cleric, who contested against Tinubu in the APC presidential primary in 2022, questioned whether the experience of Nigerian politicians had been enough to solve the country’s challenges.

He said, “I do not think Asiwaju Bola Tinubu is an uninitiated politician. He has been tried and tested. He is a man of experience.”

He added that Nigeria needed geniuses rather than experienced politicians, arguing that their experience had contributed to the country’s current situation.

Bakare also urged Tinubu to surround himself with people who would tell him the truth.

Defending some of the president’s policies, including petrol subsidy removal and naira devaluation, he said, “For me, Tinubu has tried his best. His best may not be good enough for Nigeria but that does not give right to any person to just rubbish what he did like the subsidy removal, naira devaluation and other reforms. There are some things he did alright and I hope he learns. If God feels his time is up, He will bring other people to power.”
