By Adeniyi Onaara
Pastor Tunde Bakare of The Citadel Global Community Church has stated unequivocally that he will not support any candidate for the All Progressives Congress presidential flag-bearership (APC).
Bakare made the remarks at the ruling party’s ongoing special convention at Abuja’s Eagles Square.
“Every aspirant here, including Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has my respect, but I am not stepping down for anyone.”
“By the grace of God, I am here to stand up and run for President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” the preacher stated.
His remarks followed after those of Ibiyemi Amosun, Godswill Akpabio, and Kayode Fayemi, to name a few stepped down for Tinubu.
