Convener of the Save Nigeria Group, Pastor Tunde Bakare has commented on the state of affairs of the nation.
Speaking to congregants of The Latter Rain Assembly in Lagos on Sunday, The pastor and civil rights activist compared the Minister of Power, Works and Housing to a ghost worker.
“My dearest brother oloyemeta ; housing, works and power, is doing his best, but my generator is still supplying my electricity. Works, we can’t see, housing, we can’t see. Is it their fault? They say there’s no money to do it but they are earning salary.
“Should any of them take one penny for job not done? If it is not working, while not tell the whole world it’s not working, I cant work under these circumstances. Until you restructure, you can’t do nothing. You are a clean man that has jumped into a sewage tank; you can’t come out smelling like roses.
“That you had a free hand to run Lagos between you and your brother does not mean you should be doing what you like… Restructure.”
Bakare also compared his former running mate under the platform of Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), President Muhammad Buhari to a colonial master.
“Stop complaining about their countries, because many many Africans abroad today bought their own tickets into slavery. You couldn’t fix your own country, you are looking for where they have fixed,” he said.
“You are ready to lie, to declare refugee status just to hold a common passport where you are still treated like a common criminal. Slavery is God’s punishments for idolatry, for envy, that’s all.
“Joseph went through slavery, Israel went through slavery for 400 years, your own did not last 100 years you are still complaining colonial masters, colonial masters, where are they?
“Obasanjo ruled this country for eight years, no electricity, they spent money, who is asking him to account for the money he invested, where did he put it? We have no candle from that investment. He is a colonial master, Jonathan is a colonial master, Muhammadu Buhari is a colonial master.”
“Answer number two, those who can; only humans posses the abilities to transform themselves by the renewing of their minds, animals can’t do it. And those who call themselves lions and jackals and those who responded are birds of the same feather.
“You want to turn the whole nation into George Orwell’s animal farm so that a boxer will always be saying comrade Napoleon is always right?You want a kingdom where some animals are equal and others are more equal?
“Two months into this administration, we prepared a 42-page document for the restructuring of Nigeria and gave it to the president; this is the way to go, now they are forming a committee to define restructuring.
“You are putting in charge those who say they don’t believe in it; what are you going to get? Committees are always long in minutes and short in hours. They will write minutes upon minutes and nothing will happen and then they will put it in KIV(Keep in view).”
