Also on Thursday, Pastor Tunde Bakare, Serving Overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church (formerly Latter Rain Assembly) picked the N100 million APC presidential nomination forms saying that he would change the country’s narrative by enthroning good governance if elected president.
Sen. Ibikunle Amosun, representing Ogun Central Senatorial District, same Thursday joined the race for the presidency on the same APC platform, promising Nigerians improved security.
Nnamani said that the agitation about zoning by Ohanaeze Ndigbo, an apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, was a justifiable one.
Pastor Bakare, addressing newsmen said that he believed in God for the right leadership for Nigeria.
“I trust God helping us with men of goodwill, East, West, North and South of the country and across party lines, male and female who will rise and rebuild our nation.
“This will be in such a way that the devastation we are experiencing, we would see it no more.
“Our programme is very simple: peace, prosperity, progress and possibilities. Upon those four pillars Nigeria will be rebuilt and the hope of many citizens will be rekindled.
“We are all going to join hands to make it happen. No other nation will fix our nation for us,’’ Bakare said.
He added that it would take Nigerians from all walks of life, within and in the Diaspora to join hands together to build the country in the interest of all.
He spoke on his views on the array of aspirants in the 2023 presidential race and the possibility of the presidency shifting to the South.
He said God rules in the affairs of men and He gives power to whoever He wills.
“A Southerner is a Nigerian, a Northerner is a Nigerian.
“We trust God that the best, the fittest and the most competent will emerge and the one who truly loves our people, especially the poor will rise to fix our nation,’’ the pastor-politician said.
“There is only one seat. Whoever wins, the rest of us most rise to support him to rebuild Nigeria, East, West, North or South, Nigeria is our country,’’ he stressed.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Bakare was President Muhammad Buhari’s Vice-Presidential candidate in 2011 on the platform of the defunct Congress for Progressive Change.
More than 10 aspirants have so far joined the APC presidential race.
Senator Amosun promised to consolidate on the achievements of President Buhari in the area of security.
“To do this, I will prioritise human security as the fundamental principle and ultimate goal of national security.
“Putting human security at the forefront and as the direct principle of state policy, would imply that the two dominant goals of my leadership would be national security and economic development,” he said.
He added that he had spent the past few months talking to professionals on the security challenges in Nigeria and how they could be better managed.
“The country’s security challenges have several aspects. There are external and internal dimensions.
“Externally, a significant part of our national security challenges are the consequences of the war, conflicts and terrorism in the Middle East, North Africa and the Sahel region.
“Hence, under my leadership, we will conduct a compressive audit of our security problems and the existing infrastructure for responding to them,” he said.
