This is Not The Nation We Wish To Bequeath To Our Children – Tunde Bakare

• ”It is time to turn the stumbling blocks of our past into stepping stones to our future.”

Following the horrific and unpleasant incident that characterised the aftermath of the EndSARS protest, the Serving Overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, formerly known as Latter Rain Assembly, Pastor Tunde Bakare, has encouraged the youths not to despair.

He gave the encouragement during a sermon on Sunday.

He Implored the youths keep the faith and cling on the hope of an imminent new Nigeria by building on the gains and momentum of the protests.

The former vice presidential candidate also dubbed the dissolved state anti-robbery squad (SARS) as  ‘State-Aided Robbery Squad’.

He noted that “although the Special Anti-Robbery Squad has been disbanded, the spirit of SARS continues to prowl unchecked.”

Bakare, who is also the Convener of Save Nigeria Group (SNG), also commiserated with the family of victims of the Lekki toll gate shooting which happened last Tuesday.

“This is not the nation we hope to bequeath to our children. We will build this nation, not upon the altar of the blood of our young people, but on their visions and aspirations.

“I am confident that we can end the brutalisation of our people, put an end to the State-Aided Robbery Squad, and begin the process of nation-building,” Bakare said.

”It is time to turn the stumbling blocks of our past into stepping stones to our future.”
