Pastor and activist, Tunde Bakare, has advised Pres-elect that if he
intends to govern and succeed as president, then he has to appoint the
right kind of people. Bakare gave the advise at the Wema Bank 70th Commemorative lecture in Lagos.
Speaking at the event titled, “Why Nations Succeed,” Bakare said
issues such as zoning and religion must be discarded if the right people
will emerge.
He said, “In a few weeks’ time after the handover, I pray that the
North, which has been out of power for a while, will not say now ‘it is
our turn’. And whether the person fits the role or not, they put again,
round pegs in square holes and forget the real issues and begin to
attract the same incompetent people to run our affairs.
“What is it that is wrong with our nation that the best, the most
competent, the fittest and people with capacity are not the ones running
our affairs?”
He said Buhari must look for intelligent ministers like Mallam Nasir
el-Rufai and Mrs. Oby Ezekwesili who both served as ministers under
former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
He said, “It is not difficult to put things in order. If we have the
mind to do it and you have the right people to occupy these offices like
my sister Oby and like el-Rufai did in Abuja, those are the people we
need to attract regardless of their religion, regardless of their
gender, regardless of what part of the country they come from.
