The Founder of Household of God Church, Reverend Chris Okotie, has said that the 2023 presidential candidates of all parties owe Nigeria a debate on the issue of restructuring.
Okotie, a former presidential candidate has been at the forefront of a campaign for restructuring.
His spokesman, Ladi Ayodeji said Okotie has expressed his readiness to debate the presidential candidates on the imperatives of changing the structure of the Nigerian federation.
According to the spokesman, Okotie believes that the Presidential candidates owe Nigerians an explanation of what they intend to do about restructuring, a new political direction, and philosophy of government for the country.
Okotie, on several media platforms, stated that to continue with the present transition is “to embrace an elusive phantom”, adding that the presidential system is terminological deceit.
He rejected what he calls the ad-hoc approach of all the presidential candidates to restructuring, which he said, merely scratched the surface.
Okotie said:
“Aboriginal democracy is the holistic approach to the recreation of a workable system, that incorporates all our political, cultural and economic realities under the prevailing circumstances.”
He added that the level of restructuring Nigeria needed was beyond devolution of power and fiscal federalism, adding that nothing short of a new constitution based on his proposal would do the magic.
