Pastor Tunde Bakare, the Serving Overseer of the Citadel
Global Community Church in Lagos, has said the South-East does not have the
numbers yet, to produce a Nigeria President of Igbo extraction.
Bakare stated this on Tuesday night, during an Instagram
Live session with media mogul, Dele Momodu.
According to the outspoken cleric, the Igbo would need a
‘handshake’ between the North and South, because of the way the country is
structured.
“The Igbos are my brothers and sisters, God bless them, I
love them and I care about them. They should also come to mainstream politics
because APGA as a party cannot win a presidential election in Nigeria.
“Yes, every citizen of this country can aspire to that
position regardless of ethnic personality and I will be too glad to see an Igbo
president. But let us always remember that democracy is a ruthless game of
numbers and if you don’t have the numbers you cannot continue to shout
marginalisation.
“You should join mainstream politics and find a way of
reaching out to others to form some kind of alliance or merger that will
produce a victory at the poll,” Bakare said.
