Pastor Tunde Bakare, the Serving Overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church (CGCC), has come forward to defend the legacy of the late former President Muhammadu Buhari, asserting that he had no stain of corruption during his time in office.
Bakare’s comments come in the wake of Buhari’s passing, as discussions surrounding his presidency and its impact continue to unfold.
In a recent statement, Bakare acknowledged the various accusations that were levied against Buhari throughout his administration but emphasized that none were substantiated. “A lot of accusations went, but nobody could pin any corruption on him,” Bakare stated. He praised Buhari’s efforts in the fight against corruption, suggesting that the former President tackled the issue to the best of his ability.
Bakare further noted, “His best may not be good enough for some people, but he has done his best,” highlighting the challenges faced by Buhari in his quest to combat corruption in Nigeria. The pastor’s remarks reflect a perspective that seeks to honor the former leader’s intentions and contributions, despite the criticisms he faced from various quarters during his tenure.
The defense of Buhari’s legacy by Bakare adds to the ongoing discourse surrounding the late President’s impact on Nigeria’s political landscape. As citizens and leaders alike reflect on his time in office, Bakare’s comments serve as a reminder of the complexities involved in evaluating a leader’s legacy, particularly in a nation grappling with deep-seated issues of governance and accountability.
As tributes continue to pour in for the late President Buhari, Bakare’s assertion that he remained untainted by corruption may resonate with supporters who believe in the sincerity of his leadership. The discussion surrounding Buhari’s presidency is likely to evolve as more voices join the conversation, each offering different perspectives on his contributions to Nigeria’s journey.
