Buhari Attended Kano Wedding ‘Because Dapchi Girls Not His Daughters’ – Bakare

Pastor Tunde Bakare of the Latter Rain Assembly has suggested that President Muhammadu Buhari wouldn’t have attended Governor Ganduje daughter’s wedding if his daughter were among the 110 Dapchi schoolgirls that were abducted by Boko Haram in Yobe.

Bakare, speaking during a church service on Sunday, said he couldn’t comprehend what President Buhari, alongside 22 governors, was doing at the wedding between Ganduje’s daughter and Governor Abiola Ajimobi’s son when the schoolgirls are still in the terrorists’ captivity.

Kano was reported to have stood still as dignitaries from different parts of the country flooded the wedding Fatiha of Fatima Ganduje and Idris Ajimobi on Saturday.

The influx of the dignitaries into the state had drawn condemnations from critics who are asking why the President should attend the wedding when he couldn’t visit the Government Girls’ Science and Technical College, Dapchi, Yobe, where the 110 girls were abducted on February 19.

Reacting to Buhari’s Kano visit, Bakare said: “Forgive my ill-mannerism, but I could not comprehend why a governor will celebrate the wedding of his daughter, and another governor of his son, on the front pages of newspapers, flashing it before our eyes, when other peoples’ daughters are in captivity.

“If any of them had lost a daughter in that captivity, would they celebrate that way? I know the Bible says rejoice with them that rejoice, but I do not know what the president of Nigeria was doing there.

“And somebody came to say, let me explain to you, it is Islamic tradition, before this time, about January, they had agreed, that he (Buhari) will be the one to give the bride away and (Bola) Tinubu will be the one to pay the dowry, and present the son, and they agreed long before now.

“I looked at him and said the president of Nigeria wanted to come to my daughter’s wedding, and I said to him, sir, don’t come. That is beneath your office. Face the work of the state and keep serving.

“And 22 governors showed up to mark register, when 110 daughters of citizens of your nation were captured by Boko Haram that you said you have already technically defeated?

“It just shows how insensitive our leaders are. We have gotten to a stage that our president has become a king and a monarch. That his son who rode his pleasurable bike that almost claimed his life, will be returning from an overseas trip, where he had received special healthcare that Nigerians cannot afford, that it took a whole minister of state to go and welcome him, because he has no job.”

“If you truly know the truth, you will weep, if you know how much we are owing as a nation, you will weep. For 16 years of PDP they borrowed N6 trillion, for three years of APC, they borrowed N11 trillion.

“And they are not going to pay the debt. You and I, and our children, and our children’s children will pay the debt, unless they write them off again,” he said.
