Pastor Tunde Bakare, a prominent Nigerian cleric and founder of the Citadel Global Community Church, has issued a stern warning to President Bola Tinubu, urging him to reconsider his administration’s policies or face God’s judgment.


In a fiery sermon delivered on Sunday, Bakare accused Tinubu’s government of plunging Nigeria into unprecedented hardship, drawing a dramatic biblical parallel.
“Tinubu’s government has caused more hardship in Nigeria than it was in Samaria, where parents had to resort to eating their children,” Bakare declared, referencing the dire famine described in 2 Kings 6:25-29. He criticized the administration’s economic reforms, which he claimed have deepened poverty and suffering among Nigerians.
Do not play God. Power belongs to Him alone, and He will not hesitate to unleash His wrath on those who oppress His people
Bakare called on the president to prioritize the welfare of citizens, warning, “Do not play God. Power belongs to Him alone, and He will not hesitate to unleash His wrath on those who oppress His people.” The pastor’s remarks have sparked mixed reactions, with some praising his boldness and others accusing him of politicizing the pulpit.
The presidency has yet to respond to Bakare’s statements. Tinubu, who assumed office in May 2023, has faced mounting criticism over rising inflation, fuel subsidy removal, and a weakening naira, though his administration insists these measures are necessary for long-term economic stability.
