APC, Pastor Bakare Trade Wars Over Tinubu’s Reforms | Daily Report Nigeria
SHARE

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has replied Pastor Tunde Bakare after he criticized President Bola Tinubu over his style of reforms.

Bakare, the Serving Overseer of Citadel Global Community Church, CGCC stated during his Sunday sermon that the Yoruba slogan ‘Emilokan’ meaning “It’s my turn” coined by Tinubu for his 2023 campaign was an “epitome of authoritarianism.”

He recalled how he warned Nigerians that “Emilokan” was a politics of entitlement.

However, Senator Ajibola Basiru, the new APC National Secretary during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today, expressed his disagreement with Bakare’s views.

Basiru emphasized that Bakare lacked the moral authority to comment on matters he was ignorant of.

He said:

“I must quickly comment on what Pastor Bakare said. Although I don’t see him as a politician and with respect to him, I don’t see him as being competent to say what he has said.

“The fact that we are talking of palliatives does not mean we are not talking about the dysfunctions, imbalances in the economy and addressing the fundamental problems. We are not limiting our problems to the issue of palliatives.”

When asked to clarify what he meant by “Bakare not having the competence” to speak on the issues facing the nation, Basiru reaffirmed that just because the pastor was a Nigerian does not entitle him to provide commentary on any debate.

The Senator said:

“I said competence on what he is talking about. The fact that you have ideas doesn’t mean you are competent in what you are saying. But he is entitled as a citizen.

“For instance, I am not an engineer and don’t have the competence to make valid proposition in the engineering field, even though I am a citizen of Nigeria. The fact that he (Bakare) is a Nigerian does not give him the right to make the criticism that he is making.

“We have a four-year mandate and by the grace of God, even before the first one year, people will start seeing the fundamental adjustment that is being made in the economy of our country.”
