The founder of the Latter Rain Assembly, Pastor Tunde Bakare, has berated President Muhammadu Buhari, saying his (Buhari) administration has failed Nigerians.
He said expectations of Nigerians had not been met by the Federal Government and that he was particularly disappointed in the handling of killings by herdsmen, particularly that of Benue state.
On whether the rampaging herdsmen were foreigners, Bakare told AIT that he does not know but that they are human beings.
Bakare also said it was President Buhari’s constitutional right to seek elective office.
He said: “I’ve not joined any Third Force. I’ve not been part of any force. At the right time, we will know what to do because what I see now is what I can envision in the days to come.
“Most of these people don’t really care about the development of the government of our nation. They seek power for self, not for service.
“This is why it hurts me deep, that such crisis will hit Benue state and the leadership of the nation will not move there, go there. Rather, they invited them to come to Abuja.
“The most painful to me was that an American leader would not do that; the British leader would not do that; who are the ones we are emulating. You are not a king, you are a servant of the people and you are to know that you really are serving the interest of your people.
“The Inspector General of Police showed up and he said it’s communal clash. He even said that before he got there! In a decent nation, he would have been fired by now.”
