Pastor Tunde Bakare, the General Overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, pointed out that certain nations do not want Nigeria to flourish.
Pastor Bakare argued that Nigeria is unable to advance because certain countries view her as a danger.
Bakare, speaking to some of his members in London, highlighted that Nigeria has not progressed because the wealthy gain from corruption.
Preaching on the theme “Celebrating God’s Legacy—Honouring the Past and Celebrating the Future,” the religious leader stated that he was not opposed to Nigeria’s ties with the World Bank or the International Monetary Fund.
According to Bakare:
“Don’t you think there are nations who don’t want Nigeria to prosper? We are a threat. But before accusing others, what about giants cornering the wealth of the nation?
“The leadership of the nation cannot go to bed with two eyes closed when dealing with these giants. The elites are benefiting from the corruption, and if you are not part of them, they eliminate you by any means.
“The elites continue to hold down the country. I am not against the World Bank or the International Monetary Fund, but David, in the Bible, inquired. We seem to leave the root issues in our nation.
“Our founding fathers, irrespective of their political affiliations, were not in politics for what they would get,” Bakare added.
