Bakare calls for restructuring of Nigeria

The Senior Pastor, Latter Rain Assembly, Tunde Bakare, yesterday, reiterated call for restructuring of the country.

At the 14th Anniversary Lecture of the Foursquare Gospel Church, Asokoro, he regretted the lack of will and political courage among leaders to toe the path.

He said: “When General Yakubu Gowon created 12 states, we welcomed it and embraced it. From 12, we went to 18. From 18, I don’t even know where we are now. I see people agitating for more, yet we know we cannot sustain them.

I don’t think we have up to four states that can pay salaries, but we want to have Permanent Secretaries, Commissioners and keep on doing the same thing and expecting a different result.’’
