The Senior Pastor of Citadel Global Community Church, Tunde Bakare, has denied saying President Muhammadu Buhari has disappointed Nigerians.
Bakare said this while clearing the air on an Instagram live interview with Dele Momodu a few days ago.
The clergyman blamed the media saying his words were twisted.
He said, “Those headlines were creations of the newspapers themselves. Those were not the exact words I used.”
He recalled what he said, ‘The coming of President Buhari into power in 2015 was a breath of fresh air to so many people.
‘But in the midst of all competing demands, the conflicts and everything that happened, the expectations they had; not all of them would have been met.
‘And, therefore, Nigerians are entitled to say they are disappointed.’
He stressed: “I did not use the words ‘Buhari has disappointed Nigerians’. I will not ask the papers not to sell their papers using any headline. Sometimes they make their own deduction from what was spoken.
“I chose to be moderate in all that I say. Except I have concrete facts, I do not just talk.
“But Are Nigerians disappointed? It’s everywhere, every day. You see it in the news. When expectations are not met, people will express their frustrations. It is natural and normal.
“But that does not mean this administration has not done anything good at all and, therefore, should be consigned to the dustbin of history.”
