 The founder and pastor of Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakery, has reacted to the burning issue surrounding the choice of the Muslim, Muslim ticket of the all-progressive Congress Blackberry and running mate ahead of the presidential elections. During a Sunday service in his church in Lagos, Bakery says, Nigerians should focus on things that unite the country rather than what divides the nation. Our correspondent, Paul George, has more. He is electrifying. The choir sings praise and worship songs to Almighty God as the congregation responds. Immediately after, Pastor Tunde Bakery mounts the podium singing a song of victory to God. Again, the congregation sings along. The members anxiously wait for the pastor's special sermon titled, Nations Pre-Appointed Times and their Times of Visitation. Bakery uses scriptures to encourage the worshippers that there is time for everything. For 400 years they were in Egypt, not so. Kate got's mind for that season and endured. Every trial, every affliction, if you look at the bottom, you will see expiry date. Linking the message to the burning issue. He advised the people to be cautious about over-eating the polity, wanting that the country is now fragile. Following the announcement of the former governor of Borno State, Alaji Kashim Shetima Mustafa, as a running mate to the presidential candidate of the APC, by the candidate himself, Alshuadju Bola-Amentinumbu, another Alaji, the national discourse has been set on a tailspin with vehement opposition to this choice coming from members of my constituency, the Christian community. Bakery hopes that the federal character principle will be a thing of the past, as Nigeria gets stronger and better. We dream of a Nigerian, where there will no longer be indigent or settler, but only a Nigerian citizen. We dream of a Nigerian, we are a state of residence, we replace state of origin in our official forms and we as zoning of federal character will become archival aspects of our journey into political maturity. Going forward, ahead of 2023, we must learn from our mistakes. Christian leaders must at this point bring the candidates and their running mates to the negotiation table. Here, I must say, Christian leaders must ensure to build the nation, just as they request the people to continue to pray for the country. Paul George, plus TV News. Hello, hope you enjoyed the news.
