Gbolahan Babatunde BAKARE ('Tunde Bakare') is actively committed to the emergence of the New Nigeria. Most notably since 2010, he has been actively involved in engendering political shifts in Nigeria through thought leadership, creating propositional platforms towards political participation, providing advisory services through key policy inputs, and fostering coalition-building across divides. He has remained a foremost voice bridging the gap between the pulpit, governance and politics, and the people of Nigeria through his pioneering work as the Founding Leader of The Citadel Global Community Church (formerly The Latter Rain Assembly). A relentless patriot, trans-generational connector and statesman, with wide-ranging interests across nation-building, entrepreneurship, not-for-profit social investments and international diplomacy, Bakare remains a model citizen and a force for galvanising positive action.
