The Serving Overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, has ruled out any possibility of joining the African Democratic Congress (ADC), despite mounting pressure from political figures urging him to do so.
Bakare, who was once a presidential aspirant under the All Progressives Congress (APC), stated that he would not abandon the party he helped build, describing such a move as self-destructive.
“I am not going to take part in ADC. The last time I knew about ADC was about a plane that crashed. I wish them well because we need a robust opposition. But you don’t birth a child called APC and then try to kill it yourself. We are not going to have another Awolowo–Akintola crisis in the South-West,” he said.
The cleric revealed that several prominent politicians, including a former governor and minister from the South-West, had approached him to align with the ADC, but he turned down their requests.
“There has been a lot of pressure on me from who is who to join ADC. They come to my home. Even while I was abroad, the hierarchy of that party kept calling, saying they needed my voice,” Bakare added.
Speaking further, he said that only divine intervention could unseat President Bola Tinubu, stressing that his rise to power was backed by God.
“If God wants to remove ‘emilokan,’ He knows how to do it. You can’t get the kind of thing Tinubu has brought without God’s support,” Bakare declared.
