“This brings me to the brand, PTB. PTB is currently an acronym for Pastor Tunde Bakare. The PTB brand is the rallying point for Project 16.
“Nevertheless, Project 16 is not just about me. It is not about the presidential ambition of any man. In any case, I do not have a self-generated ambition.
“What I do have is a vision of a New Nigeria that was birthed in me from childhood and an honest aspiration to serve as the sixteenth president of my beloved nation, Nigeria,” Bakare stated.
Pastor Bakare was running mate of President Muhammadu Buhari in the 2011 presidential election on the platform of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC).
