Pastor Tunde Bakare, who spoke, yesterday at his church, the Latter
Rain Assembly, Lagos, in his State of the Nation's address with the
theme, The Gathering Storm and Avoidable Shipwreck: How to Avoid
Catastrophic Euroclydon, the former vice presidential candidate of the
defunct Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), warned of impending
dangers for the country, if the warning signals were ignored.
"I must state that the proposal for suspension of elections is not
with a view to giving the president an avenue for undue tenure
elongation but for the purpose of building a coalition that will bring
lasting solutions to our problems.
"I have clearly painted a picture of where we are, a disaster is ahead
of us. If the northerner emerges as winner, whether he has won that
election fair and square or not, people will allege rigging. If
Jonathan wins the election, fair and square, they will allege that he
used his power of incumbency to rig the election," Bakare noted.
He said, however, that the only way to avert the storm was to urgently
address some fundamental flaws in the polity.
Hmmm...
