Nigerians react to Tunde Bakare 2023 presidential ambition

Nigerians have taken to twitter to react to the declaration of the Serving Overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, at the weekend to vie for Nigeria’s oval office and succeed the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), in 2023.

It would be recalled that the outspoken cleric on Saturday announced his intention during a virtual meeting tagged ‘Unveiling Project 16 to Nigerians in Diaspora’, with the theme ‘The portrait of a new Nigeria’, organised by the PTB4Nigeria in diaspora group.

Bakare who was running mate of President Muhammadu Buhari in the 2011 presidential elections under the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) said his decision to join the 2023 presidential race was against the backdrop of the prevailing state of the nation.

However, Nigerians have taken to twitter to react to Pastor Bakare’s official presidential declaration.

While some Nigerians mocked the popular tele-evangelist for joining the 2023 presidential race, others encouraged him to throw his hat in the ring and rescue the country.

“Sir @T_Bakare focus on your ministry and stop mixing things up. God spoke to you, God spoke to me and 500 other people… We’re way past all this nonsense. God didn’t speak since 2015 or is it a different God that spoke when you visited Aso Rock last year?
