The Lead Pastor of the Citadel Global Community Church, Tunde Bakare, has said that it is very shameful that Nigerian Senators play politics while US Congress takes actions on the killings in the country.
Pastor Bakare made this statement on Sunday during his State of the Nation Address in Lagos, condemning the National Assembly for its lack of initiative during the crisis.
“It is a shame on our National Assembly that it took the United States Congress, not the representatives elected by Nigerians, to convene a hearing on the lived experiences of citizens suffering under insecurity.
“While those in Abuja were busy with politicking, post-turning for political relevance, defecting from one political party to another, in their desperate manoeuvres to secure their seats ahead of the 2027 elections,” he said.
According to him, US President Donald Trump had used the most despicable language ever used by a world leader to describe Nigeria, which referred to Nigeria as a “now-disgraced country.”
The cleric stated further that the government’s sudden flurry of activity after Trump’s remarks exposed its earlier indifference.
He alleged that Nigerian leaders are burying their heads in the sand like ostriches while remaining preoccupied with the politics of chaos instead of governance.
