The Founder of Household of God Church, Reverend Chris Okotie, has allayed the fears that restructuring the country would lead to disintegration.
Okotie, who has been campaigning for the inauguration of an interim government with the main objective of restructuring the country, said his concept of ‘Aboriginal Democracy’ upon which he anchors restructuring, would address all the prevailing defects in the current system and usher in a new era of political stability in Nigeria.
The cleric said this via a statement issued on Tuesday by his media adviser, Ladi Ayodeji,
He said his quest to lead the interim government being proposed was to ensure that as an impartial arbiter, he would join other stakeholders to ensure that the future of the country is preserved in an atmosphere of justice, equity, and fairness.

Okotie noted that the resistance to restructuring in certain quarters was because of fears that such an exercise would disfavour one ethnic group or spark off another civil war.
The cleric added that the present presidential system which has created a dysfunctional federation, corruption, top-heavy government, agitations, and protests over alleged marginalisation, has divided the nation along ethnic and religious lines.
He stated that with ‘Aboriginal Democracy’, all the prevailing fault-lines would be addressed to the satisfaction of all Nigerians because they would be the architects of the new constitution.
Okotie further warned that “should the 2023 general election be held without first restructuring the country, the post-Covid socio-political and economic crisis currently sweeping through the world would have a more devastating effect on our country because the present weak governance structure can’t cope with such monumental problems.”
