Bakare faulted the relationship between the executive and legislative arms of government, saying that President Tinubu should “stop playing God”.
His words:
“At the centre of this political banditry is the motor park brand of politics nurtured by the old brigade politicians, and in recent times, by President Tinubu.
“Mr. President, it is through your influence that the national assembly has become a haven for legislative rascality. Mr. President, it is under your watch that the national assembly has become an extension of the executive, grossly violating the principles of separation of powers and rubber-stamping the whims and caprices of your office, while singing the international anthem of sycophants -On your mandate we shall stand.”

Furthermore, Bakare flayed the myriads of challenges facing Nigeria.
The 70-year-old condemned the spate of recent attacks and deaths in Edo, Benue, Plateau, Zamfara, Borno, Oyo, and other states.
According to him, communities are now forming “poorly trained, poorly equipped and unprofessional militias, with some taking the law into their own hands” due to the loss of faith in the capacity of the government to guarantee their security.
Pastor Bakare concluded:
“I urge you, Mr president, to think deeply and reflect on these words: ‘No man is wise enough nor good enough to be trusted with unlimited power’. Please, stop playing God!”
