2023 Presidency: 4 Areas I Will Focus On If Elected – Pastor Tunde Bakare
The Serving Overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare on Monday, formally declared his intention to run for the presidency in 2023.
The presidential aspirant who made this known at the Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Centre’ Central Business District’ Abuja while delivering his speech said that if elected, his government would focus more on four carefully designed areas.
According to him, as president, my administration will deliver on four mandates, namely Peace, Progress, Prosperity, and Possibilities.
He said, “Today, I am offering myself to close the distance between the Nigerian reality and every Nigerian dream; to unlock the power of public policy to accelerate transformation; to infuse our young people with a surge of
hope for what is possible; to roll my sleeves up and work to solve Nigeria’s most intractable problems; to build a cutting-edge nation at the forefront of innovation; to create a new dynamic of belonging in which
everyone has a seat and a say; I am committed to the realization of A New Nigeria for Every Nigerian in my lifetime.
“This is why I am formally announcing that I am running for the Office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2023 elections.”
The cleric, who was Buhari’s running mate in the 2011 presidential election, stated that he understands the plight of Nigerians and that inspired his presidential ambition next year.
“I stand here before you today mindful of the realities, but hopeful enough to offer myself as a bridge; a bridge connecting the dreams of our founding patriots to the highway of every Nigerian dream; the ones deferred and the ones you still wake up to each morning; a bridge between today’s Nigeria and the one you know is possible. I stand here today to acknowledge that the realization of my dreams was facilitated by Nigeria.”
