Several reactions have trailed the official presidential declaration of the Serving Overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Tunde Bakare.
Naija News had earlier reported that the popular tele-evangelist on Saturday said he remains the best candidate to address the problems affecting Nigeria.
Bakare announced his presidential ambition at the virtual meeting Unveiling Project 16 to Nigerians in diaspora, with the theme The portrait of a new Nigeria, organized by the PTB4Nigeria in diaspora group.
The preacher warned the south is being set against the north, while Christians are set against Muslims ahead of the 2023 general election.
However, Nigerians have taken to Twitter to react to Pastor Bakare’s official presidential declaration.
While some Nigerians mocked the popular tele-evangelist for joining the 2023 presidential race, others encouraged him to throw his hat in the ring and rescue the country.
See some of the reactions below:

Now that Tunde Bakare has finally declared his interest to join the 2023 race, I'm expecting Chris Okotie to do same so that the list of "Usual Suspects" will be complete.#WhereIsChrisOkotie

Tunde Bakare has a good chance of winning the presidential election…
That's assuming he was contesting against pastor Chris Okotie for C.A.N. President.

I gave up on Tunde Bakare a long time ago. The more he speaks, the more I am justified.

A Presidential race without Pastor Tunde Bakare clown-crashing in is incomplete.

Sir @T_Bakare focus on your ministry and stop mixing things up. God spoke to you, God spoke to me and 500 other people… We're way past all these nonsense. God didn't speak since 2015 or is it a different God that spoke when you visited Aso Rock last year?
