The founder of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare has been speaking about his visit to the Lagos home of President Bola Tinubu.
Bakare explained that his conversation with the President focused on national development and the future of Nigeria.
He spoke after his courtesy visit to President Tinubu in Lagos, on Wednesday.
The visit was revealed in a post by presidential aide, Bayo Onanuga, who shared a photo of the President with the cleric on his X handle.
Bakare had, during an address in April in Lagos, called on President Tinubu to implement immediate and strategic interventions to steer Nigeria out of its mounting crises.
Bakare after his visit to the President noted that he looked forward to a peaceful and united Nigeria, calling for collaboration across regions to move the country forward.
He said: “Well, my visit to President Tinubu is about how the country will go well. My life, personal vision is to see a nation that works in my life time, and those things I’ve discussed with Mr. President. They are not hidden things, but I’ve learnt that when you discuss with the person-in-charge, you leave it with him to do whatsoever he wills with whatever you’ve suggested.
“I’ve had a private conversation with Mr. President, and I’m glad that he received me well. I trust that God will help our Nation.
“What transpired in my discussion with him, stays with him and with me. God guiding him and giving him wisdom will help this nation not to go down the drain, but to bounce back so that he can live a mark that cannot be erased.
“I’d like to see a peaceful Nation, I’d like to see Nigerians be their brother’s keeper. I’d like to see good collaboration between the best of North and the best of the South, to steer Nigeria in the best direction.
“I’d like to see predictable progress in our nation. We’ve danced around some subjects for too long a time, it is time to take concrete action.”
