At the church’s last-Sunday-of-the-year service in Lagos, the cleric said after PDP had dominated political power in the country for 15 years, the party had shown that it had nothing to offer than poor performance.
He told the congregation that the nation needed a change in leadership, adding that the time was now. On the kind of leadership needed, the pastor, who turned 60 recently, promised to address Nigerians on the state of the nation by the first Sunday in 2015.
“After 15 years of PDP dominance and about five years of President Jonathan’s rule, what else can they offer? There had been so much giving and little return for the people. It is time for change and what kind of change do we want? I will dedicate first Sunday of next year to finding the way forward out of the situation. There is danger ahead. It is like a time bomb ticking. Those who have ears would hear and I pray that God will preserve our lives till that day,” Bakare said.
The cleric, who was the presidential running mate to Gen. Muhammadu Buhari under the defunct Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), described the country as a jungle. He lamented that it was difficult to do business in a legitimate way in the country without bribing one’s way through.
