Okotie: New president’ll take Nigeria back in 2023 without restructuring

The Founder of Household of God Church, Rev Chris Okotie, has said emergence of a new president in 2023 would lead the country back to the status quo without restructuring.

Okotie stressed that an interim government is a necessity to guarantee a stable polity in Nigeria.

He said this while speaking in a recent interview on TVC.

The cleric warned that the alternative to his proposition for restructuring before the 2023 general election is an implosion, adding that the presidential system of government has failed the country and should be jettisoned.

Okotie, however, called for Aboriginal Democracy as a viable alternative to the present system, stressing that it’s the only mechanical instrumentality available for the crystalisation of the Nigerian dream.

“The present constitution is more unitary than federal. We need to change the constitution, we need to restructure,” he said.

He stated that Aboriginal Democracy would eliminate the legislature and end the perpetual conflict between other forces, which have created the regional xenophobia engendered by the political class.

When asked on the feasibility of an interim government in the 2023 general election, Okotie said the stakeholders could make it happen if they demonstrate their patriotism.

‘The constitution is made for the people, and not the people for the constitution,” he stated.
