Pastor Tunde Bakare, overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, has called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to address corruption in Nigeria's fuel subsidy regime rather than implementing "anti-people" economic policies. Bakare highlighted the suffering and hardship faced by Nigerians since fuel subsidy removal and urged the president to tackle corrupt practices in government instead of imposing hardship on Nigerians. He also condemned the idea of going to war with the Niger Republic and called for good leadership in Nigeria. Bakare also criticized the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its popularity among Nigerians, stating that the 2023 general elections revealed that Nigerians are tired of the ruling party. Bakare argued that the party has deviated from its principles and has become a platform for politicians with no ideology. He argued that the party's standing for progressivism has changed over time, as the current economic hardship is a result of "anti-people policies" of the government.
