The Overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Tunde Bakare, has said that anyone who wants to lead Nigeria must negotiate with the northern part of the country.

Bakare who spoke to ThisDay stated that the “north has a way of giving you the crown and holding the sceptre.”

The clergyman, however, said this can only change if the Nigerian Constitution, which he described as a “glorified death certificate,” goes through a rejig.

According to him, “The way our country is constituted right now, no matter who wants to lead this country. Anyone that wants to lead this country right now will have to negotiate with the north and the north has a way of giving you the crown and holding the sceptre and if that’s going to change, our glorified death certificate called the Nigerian constitution must have to go through a rejig.

“I honestly will say, almost all the things that were going for the north in the days of Ahmadu Bello are no longer there. The textile industries where they dominated are not there anymore. The groundnut pyramids, etc. And what they have is what they hold. They have power.


“Nigeria is structured in such a way that no section can win an election by itself. The southerner cannot win an election without reaching out to the north and the northerner cannot win the election without reaching out to the south.”

Bakare lamented that things have gone worse despite the promises made by this administration before coming into power.



“Our expectations were very high. Sometimes, I have sat down to think that, ah, as president, has Buhari not demystified himself, because the expectations of Nigerians were very high when he was coming to power,” he said.

“To start with, the kind of ill health he had, he had never had such a thing and that affected grossly the first term. That ill health was a major thing. That he is still alive today is a miracle. If you put all the six years he has spent, other than infrastructure development, the promise he made to the public concerning Boko Haram or security, we know it has gone worse, as far as I am concerned.

“They say it’s not as bad as we think. But I need to be convinced. The rail track to Kaduna, a few days ago, they bombed it. When my brother, Nasir el-Rufai said I should take the train to Kaduna, I said I will wait. They are trying their hardest, but no matter from which angle you’re looking at it, whether it is economic, whether it is politics, whether it is security, you will have something negative to say. But it is easier to be critical than correct. I will not beat my chest until I sit on that seat and do better.”

The political association we are getting from the North is overwhelming



we have every cause to be confident of winning the next presidential election ...



Support Tinubu now

The north and quest for power ehh!

I pity Tinubu

Buhari doesn't trust him so he stand no chance

Osibanjo maybe

I beg to differ,
He must negotiate with all Nigerians

But Buhari negotiated with the north between 2003-2015 and no positive result.

Which North? The minority oligarchs?

Be confusing yourself by thinking Fulani is synonymous with Indigenous people of Northern Nigeria.

Except for rigging and election malpractices, the core Northern States are not up to 25% of Nigeria.

Misleading heading

But it is easier to be critical than correct. I will not beat my chest until I sit on that seat and do better.”

This is the most honest thing I’ve ever come across from a Nigerian.

He negotiated with the south as a Northerner.

Don’t pity Tinubu, he obviously don’t need your pity. You should pity igbo politicians who are presently in a state of political Inertia concerning the presidency

Tinubu is making an effort while your own igbo politicians are either waiting for manna from heaven or using violent blackmail to get them to the Villa

Lol, but you’ve just replied. Like you advised, we will see who laugh last in 2023.

Unfortunately for you, you can’t instigate the military to annul the election or use dubious court process to thwart the democratic process like you always do or like they always use you to do

We shall see

The forces that were against him in the north were more than that in the south

The south it was the masses that were against him, while the north it was the elite.. that's the difference

ImmaculateJOE:

So buhari, his aide or one of his family member told you he doesn't trust Tinubu?

The way u guys fabricate and concoct things and pass it as truth as mind blowing

PrinceOfLagos:

Osibanjo maybe

Bro, I'm a northerner.. but deep down with current permutation, we all now Yoruba/SW has a 1000000% better chance in becoming the president than SE/ibo

Why are u guys even so fixated on Yoruba presidency, rather than ibo/SE

You're not a northerner , he proud of your tribe .

If you've gone through my previous comments , you will see I've always preferred Osibanjo over Tinubu and if power will return to the south west, then Osibanjo is the man we would give power to.

Why osibanjo not Tinubu, what has he achieved that Tinubu hasn't?

This is the reason Nigeria won't have any decent leader. Just 1 visit to Aso Rock last week his message don changed.

what has Tinubu got to offer at his age and ill health ?
