Pastor Bakare stated that Nigeria is unable to progress because some elites are benefiting from the corruption, and those who are not part of it are eliminated by any means.

The clergyman said he was not opposed to Nigeria’s relationship with the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund.

Bakare said, “Don’t you think there are nations who don’t want Nigeria to prosper? We are a threat. But before accusing others, what about giants cornering the wealth of the nation?

“The leadership of the nation cannot go to bed with two eyes closed when dealing with these giants. The elites are benefiting from the corruption, and if you are not part of them, they eliminate you by any means.

“The elites continue to hold down the country. I am not against the World Bank or the International Monetary Fund, but David, in the Bible, inquired. We seem to leave the root issues in our nation.

“Our founding fathers, irrespective of their political affiliations, were not in politics for what they would get.”
