Nigeria is really giving me concern, pastor Tunde Bakare.

Nigeria is really giving me a concern.
Tunde Bakare, the serving overseer of the
Latter Rain Assembly (LRA), says he cannot
comprehend what President Muhammadu
Buhari and 22 state governors were doing at
the Kano wedding, while 110 Dapchi
schoolgirls are still in captivity.
On Saturday, at least 22 governors
convereged on Kano, to celebrate the
wedding of Idris Ajimobi and Fatima Ganduje,
offsprings of Abiola Ajimobi, and Ibrahim
Ganduje, governors of Oyo and Kano states,
respectively.
Also in attendance was the president, and
high-ranking members of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), including Bola
Tinubu, former governor of Lagos state.
Bakare says the wedding, which came two
days after Boko Haram killed some UN aid
workers in Rann, and two weeks after the
abduction of the Dapchi school girls in Yobe,
shows the insensitivity of Nigerian leaders.
“Forgive my ill-mannerism, but I could not
comprehend why a governor will celebrate the
wedding of his daughter, and another
governor of his son, on the front pages of
newspapers, flashing it before our eyes, when
other peoples’ daughters are in captivity,”
Bakare said.
“If any of them had lost a daughter in that
captivity, would they celebrate that way? I
know the Bible says rejoice with them that
rejoice, but I do not know what the president
of Nigeria was doing there.
“And somebody came to say, let me explain
to you, it is Islamic tradition, before this time,
about January, they had agreed, that he
(Buhari) will be the one to give the bride
away and (Bola) Tinubu will be the one to
pay the dowry, and present the son, and they
agreed long before now.
“I looked at him and said the president of
Nigeria wanted to come to my daughter’s
wedding, and I said to him, sir, don’t come.
That is beneath your office. Face the work of
the state and keep serving.
“And 22 governors showed up to mark
register, when 110 daughters of citizens of
your nation were captured by Boko Haram
that you said you have already technically
defeated?
“It just shows how insensitive our leaders
are. We have gotten to a stage that our
president has become a king and a monarch.
That his son who rode his pleasurable bike
that almost claimed his life, will be returning
from an overseas trip, where he had received
special healthcare that Nigerians cannot
afford, that it took a whole minister of state
to go and welcome him, because he has no
job.”
Speaking at the Latter Rain Assembly on
Sunday, Bakare said anyone who knows the
true state of things in Nigeria will weep for
the country.
“If you truly know the truth, you will weep, if
you know how much we are owing as a
nation, you will weep. For 16 years of PDP
they borrowed N6 trillion, for three years of
APC, they borrowed N11 trillion.
“And they are not going to pay the debt. You
and I, and our children, and our children’s
children will pay the debt, unless they write
them off again.
