Fiery preacher, Pastor Tunde Bakare on Monday said pressure
must be put on the government of President Muhammadu Buhari to restructure
Nigeria very fast.
Bakare, in a interview on Arise TV said restructuring of
Nigeria did not mean break-up of the nation, but a complete re-engineering of
the nation’s architecture for things to work and move forward.
He said any constitution that could not be bent must have to
be broken for things to move forward, saying that the nation’s constitution
must be bent for the aspiration of the people.
According to him, the presidency must be more responsive to
the yearnings of the people, stressing that restructuring is not a new concept,
as it would make for more productivity in the nation.
”We need to structure this nation very fast. This nation is
bleeding from all spots,” he said, adding that it is time for each state to
stop going to Abuja to get crumbs.
”We must restructure. Pressure must be put on government to
sit with the people on how to re-engineer this nation. A constitution that
cannot be bent will be broken,” he said.
Bakare said recommendations from the 2014 National
Conference would have helped a lot if it had not been abandoned, adding the he
recalled that in 2018 the Nasir El-Rufai’s Committee came up with good
recommendations on restructuring, but that nothing had been done on the
recommendations since then by the Buhari’s government.
Bakare said the government must be responsive to the
yearnings of the people rather than shooting at harmless #EndSARS protesters.
However, Bakare, who is the founder, The Citadel Global Community
Church, formerly Latter Rain Assembly, lamented that events of the last two
weeks in the nation had not been pleasant.
He said the response of government to the #EndSARS crisis
was not fully satisfied, saying that the crisis represented a serious pain that
had befallen the nation.
Bakare said it was a pity that some people lost their lives,
noting that no family had come forward to say it lost somebody during the Lekki
shooting except on social media.
He stated that government must put much effort to ensure
that there would be no repeat of such scenario again.
