Serving Overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, has accused President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, of lacking in integrity.
Bakare made this allegation during a webinar titled, “Building the New Nigeria: The Role of the Diaspora”, organised by the PTB4Nigeria In Diaspora Group.
The fiery cleric claimed that the last general elections were marred by widespread irregularities, vowing never to call Tinubu his president.
President Muhammadu Buhari, who will complete his eight-year tenure on Monday, following the completion of his second term in office, is expected to hand over to Tinubu.
Bakare also recalled what he told President Buhari last week.
He said, “Last Wednesday, I was at the Glass House in Abuja where Buhari has been restricted now because the main house is being renovated. I said I have done that for you. I want you to know that, because of the circumstances of your flying into power on the wings of integrity and incorruptibility, but you’re now passing on someone who does not have that value.
“Let’s make this clear, at any point or anywhere, before this mess is cleared off, I will address Asiwaju (Tinubu) as a President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria but I will never call him my president.”
Bakare was one of the 15 aspirants who contested the All Progressives Congress presidential ticket with Tinubu in June 2022.
The cleric recorded zero vote in the primary election held at Eagle Square, Abuja.
