The Serving Overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, told his congregation on Sunday that he warned against the “Emilokan” kind of politics.

Emilokan, a Yoruba saying, meaning ‘It’s my turn,’ became very popular when it was used by President Bola Tinubu during his 2023 pre-election campaign.

Bakare, during a State of the Nation broadcast, at the church in Ikeja, Lagos, said ’emilokan’ was a tendency of authoritarianism.

During his speech themed ‘Vice, Virtue & Time: Three Things That Never Stand Still,’ the cleric said, “I’m reminded of the warning that I sounded to Nigerians in January 2023 in my address titled, ‘Bridging the gap between politics and governance.’

“I warned that the politics of entitlement; the ’emilokan’ type of politics would breed an imperium presidency, one that would slide towards dictatorship and would be intolerant of dissent.”

Bakare’s comments were regarding the arrest, detention and prosecution of the suspended Central Bank Governor, Godwin Emefiele, as well as the detention of the former boss of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Abdulrasheed Bawa, by the Department of State Services.


The DSS arrested Emefiele in June, which according to the spokesperson of the security agency, Peter Afunanya, “was on the strength of suspected fresh criminal infractions/information, one of which forms the basis for his current prosecution.”

The Federal High Court in Lagos, last Thursday, fixed August 15 to hear an application by Emefiele seeking to halt his trial by the Federal Government through the DSS.

Reacting, Bakare said, “The actions of the DSS have raised concerns about professionalism and adherence to the rule of law. The reported invasion of the premises of the EFCC and the handling of the case of Emefiele have sparked discussions regarding the need for due process and equitable application of justice.

“The handling of the Emefiele case has sent a signal to the world and the current President’s disposition to the war against corruption.”

The cleric said the war against corruption by the present administration was like making some people scapegoats by virtue of them being “political adversaries while various other major enemies of Nigeria remain untouched.”

He said Emefiele if found culpable, should be prosecuted, adding that the suspended CBN governor might have made a wrong call in the management of the monetary affairs of the country, but he should not be made a scapegoat because he could not have acted without presidential authorisation.

Yoruba ronu lokan awon werey…

Suck it up ur ass

Agbadorians will brand him an "obidient" now.

Leave Emefiele where he is please.

Yes Buhari supported Emefiele's new naira note policy but the idea was conceived solely by Emefiele for vengeance against those he felt thwarted his own presidential ambition. Buhari is too dull to know any economic policy. They kept him in a room and fed him anything they wanted for 8 years while ripping off the wealth of the nation. As for Abdulrasheed Bawa, karma has caught up with him for unjustly hounding my beloved former Governor Chief Willie Maduaburochukwu Obiano, Akpokuedike Anambra who is now chilling in Dallas, Texas while Bawa is in a dark underground DSS cell.

Majority of nigerians didnt vote for him, he forced himself on nigerians

As regard Tunde Bakare, lol...it seems his God has stopped talking to him or he is the one that has stopped hearing from his God. Chairman of fake Prophesy pastors of Nigeria.

There are consequences for every choice. In the next 180 days, many businesses will close. These things will happen and nothing will stop it. It is the direct consequences of the choice some people made.

A yoruba person did this to an innocent woman because he wanted tinubu to be president by all means. I believe the people that did are forever happy with their rewards.

The pains of this woman will hunt Nigeria forever.

Such a pity that Governance in this country has been reduced to emilokan politics of You Don Chop, Na My Turn to Chop.

I guess it was also Emefiele that told Buhari to swap currency in 1984 too.
Dummy

Emilokan brand of politics

While others we interested in a free, fair and credible election, the emilokan drug lord told the entire world that he will grab, steal and run away with power

So if other candidates had won, manna will fall from heaven after 3 months in power? They'll be constant electricity and fuel will be sold at N50 per liter after subsidy removal like they all promised to do? Refineries will magically start working in 3 months?



Brainless clowns and jokers

I wish BAT can resign, let Atiku or Obi take over, I'm eager to see what they will acheive in 3 months.

Talk is cheap

“I warned that the politics of entitlement; the ’emilokan’ type of politics would breed an imperium presidency, one that would slide towards dictatorship and would be intolerant of dissent.”

Nonsense talk from someone that could not get a single vote in APC presidential primaries. He has no political influence even in his polling unit.
