Nigeria Today: Pastor Bakare Reminds Nigerians Against Supporting Tinubu’s ‘Emilokan’ Politics
Pastor Tunde Bakare, Senior Pastor of the Citadel Global Community Church, formerly known as the Latter Rain Church on Sunday said he warned his members not to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s “Emilokan” politics.
Tinubu’s “E mi lokan” slogan, in Yoruba means ‘It’s my turn’, and it became very popular during President Tinubu’s campaign ahead of the 2023 elections.
Bakare in reminiscence, claimed that ’emilokan’ was a tendency of authoritarianism.
He said, “I’m reminded of the warning that I sounded to Nigerians in January 2023 in my address titled, ‘Bridging the gap between politics and governance.’
“I warned that the politics of entitlement, the ‘emilokan’ type of politics, would breed an imperium presidency, one that would slide towards dictatorship and be intolerant of dissent.”
The Cleric, Bakare was one of the 2023 presidential aspirants that contested in last year’s All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential primary, which produced Tinubu as the flagbearer.
