Convener of Save Nigeria Group and founder of the Latter Rain Assembly, Lagos, Pastor Tunde Bakare has hailed President Muhammadu Buhari on his anti-corruption war.
Bakare expressed hope that the president was capable of coming up with a clear development plan for Nigeria, adding that what the current administration was doing was to “remove logs that have fallen upon one another”, starting with fight against corruption.
The outspoken speaker, however, advised Nigerians to use their voter’s card wisely in 2019 general elections.
He spoke at the 2016 Obafemi Awolowo Birthday Commemorative Symposium held at the Efunyela Hall of the Awolowo’s residence in Ikenne-Remo, Ogun State, where various speakers bemoaned the dwindling fortunes of the country.
At the event, Governor Nasir el-Rufai of Kaduna State, Ogun State governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun and Governor Olusegun Mimiko of Ondo State, among other eminent Nigerians, also advocated the adoption of the progressive ideas and programmes of the late Chief Obafemi Awolowo for Nigeria to move forward.
Bakare said anti-corruption should not be the ultimate end, saying the government must come up with policy thrust.
