In his tribute to Pastor Bakare, Tinubu described him as “a beacon of hope and a voice for the voiceless,” noting Bakare’s dedication to justice and integrity.
“Pastor Bakare, fondly called P.T.B., has been a beacon of hope and a voice for the voiceless in our society,” Tinubu stated, honouring Bakare’s contributions as a spiritual leader and nation builder.
Other dignitaries, including Lagos and Ogun governors Babajide Sanwo-Olu and Dapo Abiodun, joined in praising Bakare’s lasting impact both politically and spiritually.
