Bakare had questioned the president on some of his economic decisions, such as rolling out palliative to cushion poor Nigerians from the effect of the withdrawal of petrol subsidy, while making a nationwide broadcast on the nation's status on Sunday. "Mr. President, even though you have announced some palliatives, let me remind you that palliatives cannot address the root cause of the problem," the priest stated in his broadcast, according to Bakare in an ideologically laden "State of the Nation."
Ajibola Basiru, the national secretary of the APC, took issue with Bakare's remark and questioned the cleric's qualifications to make such a statement. During a live interview on Channels Television's Sunday Politics, Basiru acknowledged that the ruling party knows how difficult life is right now for Nigerians. However, the economy will eventually perform better.
Governor Aiyedatiwa of itOndo is expected to be declared as the winner of the 2024 gubernatorial election in Ondo. In the ruling expected on Wednesday the tribunal' judgment is being expected.
