Don’t take out your frustrations on us, Senate tells Tunde Bakare

The Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria has issued a formal response to recent criticisms made by Pastor Tunde Bakare, addressing his remarks concerning the institution’s role and conduct.

In a statement released on Tuesday, Yemi Adaramodu, the Senate Spokesperson, expressed the Senate’s disapproval of Pastor Bakare’s comments, which were deemed as “sweeping generalisations and disparaging commentary” aimed at the National Assembly.

Adaramodu stated, “While the Senate respects the right of every citizen to express views on the state of the nation, we are constrained to respond when such commentary crosses the line into unwarranted invective and misleading assertions that risk eroding public trust in democratic institutions.
