Ohh how I wish that Buhari has done enough ¬pastor tunde bakare

Fiery preacher and Senior Pastor of the Latter
Rain Gospel Assembly, Pastor Tunde Bakare
yesterday in Abuja, amid tears, chided the
Federal Government for doing so little to rescue
the 219 Chibok girls abducted two years ago.
Bakare, a former political ally of incumbent
president, Muhammadu Buhari spoke yesterday
in Abuja at a special sit-out of the
#BringBackOurGirls, BBOG.
Pastor Bakare berated past and present
administrations in the country for their failure to
rescue the girls saying; ''The whole nation has
failed these children.''
According to him; ''Parents, families and friends
of our dear daughters, I am here today not just
to speak to you, but to speak to the nation and
to the world as one of you. I’m here as a father
burdened by the captivity of our daughters, and
I am here as a friend. I am here to express our
frustrations and to speak of our undying hope
as we wait expectantly for the return of our dear
Chibok girls.
''We are not unmindful that the Nigerian state
failed to provide security for our daughters as
they gathered to write final examinations despite
prior intelligence reports that suggested they
were in danger.
''It is most severely injurious to see that the
fate of our daughters has been frequently
politicized. Rather than rise to the occasion as
stakeholders and custodians of the security and
welfare of the citizens of this nation, political
parties and politicians have paid lip service,
using our pain and plight of our daughters to
score cheap political points.
''We are not convinced that the matter of our
daughters has been given the needed
thoughtfulness.
''We do not believe that those who are in a
position to act have taken sufficient actions
towards addressing the issue or even towards
claiming our anxiety as waiting parents.''
According to him, the girls would have been
rescued if they were children of politicians and
renowned pastors.
The sit out marked 712 days since the girls have
been kidnapped and part of BBOG Global Week
of Action to mark the two years anniversary of
the abduction.
He said that those responsible for the rescue of
the girls have not taken sufficient actions in the
last two years that the girls have been
abducted.
''We do not believe those concerned have
taken sufficient actions concerning the rescue of
these girls”, he said, expressing optimism that
the girls would be rescued even as he prayed
God to see to that.
''We believe that they are still alive, at least no
evidence, satellite evidence that they are in a
mass grave. We believe they are alive. It
remains a scar on the soul of this nation until
these girls are brought back.'' He said.
