The leadership of APC Youths Renaissance has reacted to the scathing remarks made against President Muhammadu Buhari by the General Overseer of the Latter Rain Assembly Church, Lagos, Pastor Tunde Bakare.
The group, in a statement on Monday, said Pastor Bakare has formed the habit of constantly criticizing the government without providing single solution to the numerous problems facing the country.
It wondered why Pastor Bakare who has every access to President Buhari could not put his observations on paper and pass them to Mr President for immediate action but chose to do otherwise in the public glare.
The group however enjoined the cleric to stop using the pulpit to advance his political aspiration, asking him to run for an election if he thinks governance is easy.
It further advised politicians who have developed the habit of constantly bashing the President to equally form the habit of constantly providing solutions to the many challenges facing the country.
“A situation where the likes of Bakare and his fellow armchair critics choose to make themselves cheap heroes in the public domain, we will have no other option than to expose their dirty dealings in the secret by sending our advanced team to probe their secret lifestyles,” the statement signed by Mr Collins Edwin, the National Secretary of APC Youths Renaissance said.
In 2011, Pastor Bakare was the running mate of President Buhari when he contested for presidency under the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) party.
