The President, Muhammadu Buhari, has received the Serving
Overseer of The Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, at the
Presidential Villa in Abuja on Friday.
This was disclosed by the Special Adviser to the President on
Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina who shared photos from the meeting on social
media.
“President Buhari receives Pastor Tunde Bakare in State
House on 15th Oct 2021,” Adesina captioned the photos.
The presidential aide, however, failed to disclose details
of the meeting.
Bakare, a few days ago, called for a change of guard in the
country, saying those around President Buhari look tired.
He said, “Change of guards simply means that we need fresh
hands and insights into how to fix the problems of Nigeria.
“Everyone looks tired around the President and we need a
change of guards to bring competent people to handle critical issues. I’m not
advocating coup d’etat, God forbid; that will set us back by many years again.
Military coup landed us in the trouble we are.”
The clergyman also called for a change to the 1999
Constitution, adding that it was erroneous to say the unity of the nation was
not negotiable.
He said, “The 1999 Constitution was imposed upon the nation
by the military and has completely removed the ancient landmark set by our
founding fathers in the 1960 Independence Constitution and the subsequent 1963
Republican Constitution respectively.
“For every contractual agreement, the parties are required
to sign a document validating the terms and conditions in the reckoning of the
law. In the case of Nigeria, our founding fathers, in effect, signed a contract
in 1960 detailing the terms and conditions of our union or unity following a
series of negotiations.
“Truth be told, the majority of the champions, promoters and
supporters of the “our unity is non-negotiable” slogan pay lip service to a
version of unity that serves their selfish interests. What they are insisting
on, in reality, is that “our disunity is non-negotiable,” and that we must be
forced to live together irrespective of the inherent dysfunctionality of the
terms and conditions.”
