Behind Closed Doors: What Tinubu Told Tunde Bakare In Explosive Aso Rock Meeting

Speaking to journalists after visiting the President at his Lagos residence on Wednesday, Bakare said he shared his personal desire to witness a functional and prosperous Nigeria within his lifetime. He noted that he offered observations and suggestions during their private conversation and prayed for divine guidance for the President in implementing the best decisions for the nation.

Although Pastor Bakare declined to reveal the specifics of their discussion, he affirmed that President Tinubu received him warmly. He emphasized that the responsibility now lies with the President to act on the ideas presented.

“It’s not just about raising concerns, it’s about ensuring the country progresses. I’ve expressed my vision of seeing a nation that works effectively in my lifetime. I’ve made my thoughts known to the President, and I believe that once you speak with the person in authority, you leave the rest to them,” Bakare stated.

When pressed for details on particular areas of concern, the former presidential aspirant maintained confidentiality. “What was discussed between the President and me remains between us. I trust that with God’s guidance and wisdom, he will steer the country away from decline and toward recovery, leaving an enduring legacy,” he said.

Looking ahead, Pastor Bakare expressed hope for a peaceful, united Nigeria—where citizens support one another regardless of region—and stressed the importance of bridging the gap between North and South while alleviating poverty among the populace.
