Bakare Says He Turned Down Tinubu’s Ministerial Offer, Citing His Age

Pastor Tunde Bakare says he declined President Bola Tinubu’s offer to serve as a minister because he felt he was too old for the responsibilities. He said he would rather support the government by offering advice and proposing solutions from outside the cabinet. Bakare made the remarks while speaking at an event organised by Envoy Nation in Leicester, United Kingdom. He said his decision did not mean he opposed Tinubu’s administration and described himself as willing to point out shortcomings and suggest ways to address them. The former presidential candidate also reaffirmed his membership of the All Progressives Congress and said he would vote when the time comes.
