Bakare, who contested the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential primary in 2023, visited the president last week at the State House. His visit sparked speculations about possible political alignment or appointments.
But during a sermon at his church, Pastor Tunde Bakare addressed the rumours, insisting his engagement with the president was solely driven by national interest, Vanguard reported.
“Some people still think he has gone there to settle himself. In what way have I settled myself before? What they gave me, I returned. What am I looking for?” he said.
Speaking to journalists after the meeting, Bakare said his discussion with Tinubu focused on national development and how to move the country forward.
“It’s not about just reservations. It’s about how the country will go well. My personal vision is to see a nation that works in my lifetime,” he said.
He added that he had made suggestions to the president but left the decision on whether to act on them entirely up to him.
