Pastor Tunde Bakare, leader of Citadel Global Community Church, has disclosed that he turned down President Bola Tinubu’s offer of a ministerial appointment because he considers himself too old for the role.
Speaking at Envoy Nation in Leicester on Sunday, Bakare said he informed the president of his decision and pledged to support the administration from behind the scenes instead.“I told Tinubu I’m too old to be a minister, but I will help in the background in any way I think will help my country,” he said.
“I have never been part of the opposition. I am a propositional platform; if I see something wrong, I will suggest a solution.”
Bakare also reaffirmed his membership of the All Progressives Congress (APC). “I can’t change sides quickly by joining one party today and another tomorrow. I am a full member of APC, and I will vote when the time comes,” he added.
