<p>Speaking during his Easter sermon in Lagos, Bakare accused the President of undermining the independence of the National Assembly, claiming it has become &#8220;the 48th member of his cabinet.&#8221;* He also condemned Tinubu&#8217;s declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers State, describing it as a misstep in governance.</p>
<p>Bakare, who was the vice-presidential candidate for the Congress for Progressive Change in the 2011 elections, did not hold back in his critique of other political figures. He took aim at Senate President Godswill Akpabio, referencing allegations of sexual harassment made by Senator Natasha Akpoti. According to Bakare, the Senate&#8217;s handling of the matter reflects poorly on its leadership and ethical standards.</p>
