Tunde Bakare Fires Back At APC Over Stand On Presidential Election

Apparently referring to the presidential candidate of the APC, Bola Tinubu who had early declared that the presidency is his turn, Bakare said it is the turn of Nigerians who have been frustrated by previous governments.

Vexed by Bakare’s statement, Tinubu’s media handlers scolded the preacher, referring to him as “paper weight” who had zero vote during the party’s presidential primary election.

Particularly, the Special Adviser, Media, Communications and Public Affairs of the APC presidential campaign council, PCC, Mr Dele Alake said the cleric is a political neophyte.

Further reacting, the man of God who addressed journalists in Lagos on Tuesday, wondered why Tinubu’s men react to his comment but still rubbished his relevance in politics.

He said,

“Why are they then giving any thought to what I said? Maybe their alleged ‘paper weight’ is too heavy for them to carry.

“Can someone tell these people that scoring zero in a primary election with one’s true identity and credentials intact, as well having original certificates from well known schools, Primary, Secondary, colleges and Universities within and outside of this nation is a veritable badge of honour, absolutely legit and unquestionable”.
