Without Awujale, APC Would’ve Crumbled!” – Pastor Bakare Exposes Sh*cking Truth
The Presiding Overseer of the Global Community Citadel Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, has highlighted the pivotal role played by the late Awujale of Ijebuland, Oba Sikiru Adetona, in the formation of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
While paying tribute to the revered monarch, Bakare described his contribution as foundational to the party’s success and the historic 2015 presidential victory of Muhammadu Buhari.
He also noted the symbolic significance of Awujale and Buhari passing on the same day, calling it a moment of reflection for Nigeria.
Speaking during his state-of-the-nation address titled “A Major Shift in the National Focus,” Bakare revealed that it was Awujale who facilitated the critical dialogue between opposition leaders. According to him, the late monarch convened a decisive meeting at the Oriental Hotel in Lagos that laid the groundwork for the APC’s creation.
“Without Awujale’s intervention, the APC would not have existed,” Bakare stated, noting that despite his influence, the monarch remained non-partisan, committed to good governance and national unity. He lauded President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for honouring Buhari with a state burial.
Bakare, who served as Buhari’s running mate in the 2011 election, described the former president as one of the most tolerant leaders Nigeria has known.
He emphasized that Buhari’s legacy includes the landmark Electoral Act, the Not Too Young To Run law, and the Disability Act, all aimed at inclusivity and political reform.
Bakare urged Nigerians to uphold the legacy of both Awujale and Buhari by fostering political balance, national unity, and inclusive governance, warning that “the giant of Africa cannot stand on one leg.”
