Pastor Tunde Bakare, of The Latter Rain Assembly who was once President Muhammadu Buhari’s running mate in a presidential election has sent a message to the president…

“I must state that, as far as championing the far-reaching structural, institutional and constitutional changes necessary to salvage the soul of our nation is concerned, the words on the desk of the 33rd president of the United States, Harry Truman: “The buck stops here,” are relevant to President Buhari whose legacy is at stake. Mr. President, the buck stops at your desk and, as always, my earnest prayer is that you find the courage and political will to do what is right at this momentous period in the history of our nation.”

“Therefore, those asking for the opportunity to negotiate their existence within the Nigerian state based on their ethnic or cultural identities have  a right so to do, as captured in international legal instruments such as the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, to which Nigeria is a signatory.”
