We Can No Longer Blame The Colonial Masters For The State Of Our Nation – Pastor Bakare
The General Overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church formerly known as the Latter Rain Assembly, Pastor Tunde Bakare, has said that Nigerians can no longer blame the colonial masters for the present situation of Nigeria.
Bakare insisted that the real enemies of Nigeria were those who were seeking self interest at the expense of the national interest.
The former running mate to president Muhammadu Buhari in 2011 presidential elections disclosed this on Sunday during his State of Nation Address in his Lagos Church.

Bakare said: “I would like to make unquestionably clear who the enemies of our nation are not. Make No Mistake: These are not the Enemies of Nigeria. A hundred years ago, when the coalition for nationhood brought together a diverse pool of Nigerians, the common foe at that time was the oppressive rule of colonial masters. However, nearly sixty years after our independence, we can no longer blame the colonial masters for the state of our nation. As a matter of fact, in relation to Nigeria, Britain has long transitioned from being a master to a partner. Therefore, we must not be ambushed by the neo-colonial posturing that former colonialists acting in their national interest are the enemies of Nigeria.”
Bakare, who recounted Major Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu statement after the coup said: “Our enemies are the political profiteers, the swindlers, the men in high and low places that seek bribes and demand 10 per cent; those that seek to keep the country divided permanently so that they can remain in office as Ministers or VIPs at least; the tribalists, the nepotists, those that make the country look big for nothing before international circles; those that have corrupted our society and put the Nigerian political calendar back by their words and deeds.”
