Tunde Bakare recants, denies saying ‘Buhari has disappointed Nigerians’

Pastor Tunde Bakare, the General Overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, formerly known as Latter Rain Assembly, on Thursday denied saying President Muhammadu Buhari has disappointed Nigerians.

He also spoke on his impression of Sunday Igboho’s activities where killer-herdsmen are concerned.

On his assessment of Buhari’s performance, Pastor Bakare made the denial on Arise TV, when asked about comments he made in an earlier Instagram interview with the Publisher of Ovation Magazine, Dele Momodu.

Bakare was quoted by many media houses as saying President Buhari had disappointed Nigerians.

However, speaking on Thursday, the fiery cleric and lawyer said the newspapers decided the headlines with which to sell their papers. And that they quoted him wrong.

Pastor Bakare said: “Those headlines were creations of the newspapers themselves. Those were not the exact words I used.”

He recalled what he said: ‘The coming of President Buhari into power in 2015 was a breath of fresh air to so many people.

‘But in the midst of all competing demands, the conflicts and everything that happened, the expectations they had; not all of them would have been met.

‘And, therefore, Nigerians are entitled to say they are disappointed.’ (Vanguard)
