The founder of Citadel Global Church, Tunde Bakare, has declared his readiness to take over from President Muhammadu Buhari come 2023.
The cleric during his appearance as a guest on Arise Television show yesterday, insisting that as a citizen of Nigeria he has the right to run for any elective office.
“It is my fundamental right to run if I chose to. I mean every word I spoke. I cannot fold my hand or say well, let me continue to watch. No,” he said.
“I am a citizen of this country, born and bred here by the grace of God and I intend to contribute my quota. It is like a matter of life and death.”
The pastor said that he is ready to support the right people but also offering himself, hoping that Nigerians will support him, adding “I am not taking those words back. I have something to offer my country.”
“But it is all left for my country to say we want you because I cannot impose myself on them. I challenge right-thinking patriots to rise and let us join hands to fix our country. If God designs it that I will be the 16th president in 2023, I’m ready. I’m prepared.
Bakare said he has no word to impress anybody, adding that all he can guarantee is quality service.
According to him, he has been trained for over 30 years by God to be able to add value to this country.
