Reporter: Sir, we have you as one of those in this country who speak truth to power and you have demonstrated that recently, expressing your views about this administration, what specifically are those things you have reservations about?
Pastor Tunde Bakare: Well, It’s not about just reservations, it’s about how the country will go well. My life, personal vision is to see a nation that works in my lifetime; And those things I have discussed with Mr President, they are not hidden things but I have learnt that when you discuss with the person in-charge, you leave him to do whatsoever he wills with what you have suggested. So, I have had a private conversation with Mr President and I am glad he received me well and I trust that God will help our nation.
Reporter: So what area specifically do you want him to improve on?
Pastor Tunde Bakare: I have just told you that what transpired in my conversation with him and it stays between me and him. God guiding him and giving him wisdom will help this nation not to slide or go down the drain but to bounce back so that he can leave a mark that cannot be erased.
Reporter: So what will you like to see in the next two years of his administration?
Pastor Tunde Bakare: Well, I like to see a peaceful nation. I like to see Nigeria be their brother’s keeper, I like to see a good collaboration between the best of the North with the best of the South to steer Nigeria in the right direction. I like to see predictable progress in our nation. We have danced around some subjects for too long a time, it’s time to take concrete actions to ensure that the masses of our country will not live in abject poverty, that’s all.
