General overseer of the Latter Rain Assembly (LRA), Tunde Bakare says Oby Ezekwesili, former minister of education, will be stepping into politics to contest for the office of the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. He said this at the Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS), Lagos, venue of the Freedom Rally during the October 1st independence anniversary celebrations, organized hosted by Tony Rapu, the senior pastor of This Present House.
“By the way, my sister Oby is stepping into politics now, she is going to contest for the office of the president, and I am waiting for October 7 to throw in my cap, so we can crash the entire system and begin to demand for a new Nigeria that we deserve,” Bakare said.
The former vice-presidential aspirant for the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) also said Nigeria has been structurally skewed to run a system that perpetuates bad leadership. He called on Nigerians to engage the polity and demand for a new Nigeria, as envisioned by our founding fathers.
Also on Monday, Oby Ezekwesili who is also a former vice president of the World Bank, addressed the nation in a bid to inspire hope in Nigerians as the country celebrates its 58th independence anniversary. Her address touched on the economy, the national security apparatus, the state of the countries leadership and the possible future of Nigeria.
