In a message titled “The Head that
refuses a life-giving rebuke will be thrown down the cliff of perdition”,
Bakare expressed regret that the present administration has missed the right
path long before now. “Until good governance is in place and credible people
are not discouraged from playing clean politics, things would not change.”

On the allegation by former Minister of
Education, Dr. Oby Ezekwesili, at a lecture that the government squandered
foreign reserves running to several billions of dollars, Bakare berated the
government’s spokesmen and the leadership of the Christian Association of
Nigeria (CAN) for chasing the shadow and leaving the substance.

government’s spokesmen and the leadership of the Christian Association of
Nigeria (CAN) for chasing the shadow and leaving the substance.
He said the CAN leadership failed to
address the real issue on corruption but was chasing shadow. According to him,
“CAN is expected to serve as the voice for the voiceless but it has turned
itself into government appendage. It was the re-tweeting of figurative
expression of Malam Nasir el-Rufai that the agents of diversion have latched
onto in order to take our focus from the fundamental issues Ezekwesili raised
and to which they have no answer.”

He said rather than the government
giving a lucid, reasoned and mature response to Ezekwesili, “it went into all
manner of tirades against her person, virulently attacking the messenger while
ignoring the message. This puerile approach must have incensed many Nigerians
with sense of decency and propriety in public affairs.”
