Presidency reacts to Pastor Bakare’s ‘motor park politics’ comment
The Presidency has responded to comments made by the Founder of Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, during his Easter Sunday sermon, in which he criticised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s leadership style, describing it as akin to “motor park politics.”
Reacting to the comment, the Special Adviser to the President on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, acknowledged the clergyman’s right to express his views, noting that while the Presidency holds differing views on some of his positions, it appreciates the overall tone and constructive intent of Bakare’s message.
In a post shared on his verified X handle, @BwalaDaniel, the presidential aide said: “Pastor Tunde Bakare’s sermon and speech delivered this morning in form of a message to @officialABAT is quite objective.
“He gave his general opinion on events and decisions of government; he critiqued certain polities and applauded some; he further offered his suggestions on the way forward”, he said.
The comment came amid public reactions to Bakare’s pointed sermon, in which he warned against what he called the nurturing of a “motor park brand of politics”.
