Former President Muhammadu Buhari and former Senate President Bukola Saraki have described Pastor Tunde Bakare as a living legend committed to democratic values.
Muhammadu Buhari and Bukola Saraki said this in their congratulatory messages as the General Overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church (CGCC) marked his 70th birthday, on Monday.
Buhari, in his message on Monday, stated that his former Vice Presidential running mate in 2011, is a valuable asset to the nation.
“Dr. Bakare is a living legend who left a lucrative law practice to work as a pastor, a towering figure in nation building, and an embodiment of intellect, integrity, and courage.
“He is a man deeply committed to democratic values and principles of social justice, a man who is totally unafraid to speak up against injustice anywhere.
“I pray that God will give him the opportunity and the long life to see his vision of Nigeria where the poor and the marginalized are unfettered,” said the former President.
On his part, Saraki prayed to God to bless Bakare with abundant strength, grace and long life as he continues his impactful work.
“Happy 70th Birthday to Pastor Babatunde Bakare, a leader of remarkable vision and faith. As the founder of Citadel Global Community Church (CGCC), Pastor Bakare has not only built a community grounded in spiritual growth but has also been an indefatigable voice for justice, integrity, and positive change in Nigeria and beyond.
“On this special milestone, my family and I celebrate Pastor Bakare’s legacy of service. We pray that the Almighty continues to bless him with abundant strength, grace, and long life as he continues his impactful work,” the former Senate President wrote on his X handle on Tuesday.
