You’re a national asset’, Buhari celebrates Pastor Bakare at 70
Former President Muhammadu Buhari has joined family, friends, and the nation to celebrate his Vice Presidential running mate in the 2011 unsuccessful presidential election, Pastor Babatunde Gbolahan Bakare as he marks the milestone of 70 years.
In a congratulatory message on the occasion to the Overseer of Citadel Global Community Church (CGCC), the former president described Pastor Bakare as a gadfly and a valuable asset to the nation.
In a statement signed by his media aide, Malam Garba Shehu, Buhari further described Dr. Bakare as a living legend who left a lucrative law practice to work as a pastor, a towering figure in nation building, and an embodiment of intellect, integrity, and courage.
“He is a man deeply committed to democratic values and principles of social justice, a man who is totally unafraid to speak up against injustice anywhere.
“I pray that God will give him the opportunity and the long life to see his vision of Nigeria where the poor and the marginalized are unfettered,” said the former president.
