The former vice-presidential candidate to Muhammadu Buhari during the 2011 elections under the Congress for Progressive Change said Nigeria needs a “coordinated programme” to restore stability.

While delivering a state of the nation broadcast at his church in April, Pastor Bakare warned the President against ‘playing God’, adding that his administration is steering the nation off course.

He advised the President to adopt a more humble approach to governance.

“Stop playing God,” Bakare said bluntly, emphasizing that while he disagrees with Tinubu, he does not wish for him to fail.

“The current administration is steering the polity adrift,” he continued. “It is time for this government to embrace humility” he said.

However, he clarified that his address was not meant to condemn, but to guide the leadership toward a better path.
