The pastor of the Latter Rain Assembly, Tunde Bakare says
Nigerians can shut down the government as a result of herdsmen killings in
recent times.
Bakare spoke on the sidelines of “the real cost of subsidy”, an
event organised by Enough is Enough, a coalition of youth advocacy groups.
He said the order by the inspector general
of police for vigilante groups and
weapon-bearing individuals to surrender “illegal firearm” should apply to all
including the herdsmen.
“This is why I said this government is compromised completely,” he
said.
“If you are making such a rule, let it be a statute of general
application, let it apply to all. Nigerians to wake up, shine their eyes and
put their own destinies into their hands. They should fight for themselves.
There are several ways to do it. Civil unrest is one of them, protest is
another. We (Nigerians) can shut this government down. We have the numbers and
we will show them that we have done it before and we will do it again.”
Bakare also accused the Buhari administration of mismanaging fuel
subsidy, saying it refused to deregulate the downstream sector of the oil
industry at the expense of Nigerians.
“Show me in the world, any civilised society or any nation that is
developed where government does business,” he said.
“Government job is to create enabling environment for business to
thrive and flourish. Government job is to set policy. In Nigeria, the sleaze
they get from it (subsidy) is why they are not letting go. There is only one
word for either this government or any government, Buhari inclusive: let him
that stole steal no more.”
