"Today, we honour our first teachers, silent defenders, and tireless nation-builders…our fathers.

Mr President. Come down from your high horse and visit Benue.

@charlinekhandy
Daddy, over 200 of your children don die for Benue. I don't know if you are aware?!
@UnlimitedEniola
Describe a father, sir…
Does a father feel comfortable and watch TV of political defection while his children get killed?
Does a father pardon and feed the killers of his children?
Does a father starve his children and reduce their purchasing power?
Does a father Care more about other people’s children than his?
Pastor Tunde Bakare Breaks Silence On Visit To Tinubu
Recall that Pastor Tunde Bakare, the Serving Overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, denied claims that his recent meeting with President Tinubu was driven by political gain.
Bakare, who visited Tinubu at the State House last week, stirred speculations as many alleged that his visit was tied to personal ambition or a bid to secure a federal appointment.
However, during a sermon at his Lagos-based church, Bakare set the record straight, declaring his intentions were purely based on national interests.
