Convener, Save Nigeria Group, Pastor Tunde
Bakare, has said Nigeria needs total cleansing to
purge it of corruption and bad leadership.
Bakare, the President Overseer, Latter Rain
Assembly, spoke while delivering a sermon on
the state of the nation at the church in Lagos on
Sunday.
Bakare said, “Nigeria needs total cleansing. We
need what happens in Ghana to happen in Nigeria
to send a shock wave to the corrupt people in the
country. The corrupt people will think of the
grave consequences of their actions before they
embark on corruption.
“The entire system is rotten. We need more than
overhaul of the system. We need a constitution
from the people; the one that is not imposed on
them.”
On the issue of planned mergers among some
parties, Bakare said such would only work if the
driving force behind it was for Nigerians to move
forward.
“We want good people to emerge. Else, we will
be shooting ourselves in the leg again. I am for
the merger, if it is for the rebuilding of the
nation,” he said.
He said the sentencing of a former director of the
Police Pension Board, Yakubu Yusuf, who
admitted stealing N27bn to two years in jail with
an option of N750,000 fine was unthinkable.
“Nigeria is hellish for poor thieves and
magnanimous to big thieves,” he said.
Bakare faulted the Federal Government on its
response to Dr. Oby Ezekwesili, a former
Minister of Education and former Vice President
of the World Bank’s statements that Nigeria’s $
45bn in foreign reserves and another $22bn in
the Excess Crude Account had been squandered.
