The Serving Overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, has expressed his disappointment in President Muhammadu Buhari over his handling of the nation’s affairs.
Speaking during a virtual interview on Tuesday, Bakare noted that President Buhari has disappointed and failed Nigeria due to his poor leadership qualities.
The former Vice Presidential Candidate the Buhari-led administration has not fulfilled the promises made to Nigerians during the 2015 general elections.
Bakare added that the President and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) have not met the expectations of Nigerians for the past six years.
He said: “The truth of the matter is it is still the same Buhari, in the midst of many competing interests, we respond differently. The President is still himself, some have even asked me if he is not somebody else.
“Power changes people, has power changed him, or is he making the best situation of the circumstances? He will be the one to answer it
“The expectations of Nigerians, including everyone who woke up to say we need a breath of fresh air, has not been met. There is a feeling of disappointment.
“Citizens have the right to demand good governance. People deserve the government they get.”
Bakare said there is a general feeling of disappointment among Nigerians who expected change, adding that Buhari has failed to lead the country in the right direction.
He bemoaned the lack of leadership, especially with the rising cases of kidnappings and killings, causing non-state actors to take the law into their hands.
Bakare said: “We are praying hard that the county will survive and become strong again, this is not what we all call the Nigeria of our dreams
“Nigeria will survive and will become the Nigeria of our dreams but right now, things are not together, especially with the drum of disintegration which is louder than before.
“Nigeria is better together, if we go back together to the basics of how we came together, looking at 1960 and 1963, we can still be together. We are not there yet, but we are getting closer.
“We rejected PDP and embraced APC’s change but it appears we have been shortchanged.”
