If this is true then go ahead and win the millions. Why do you need my 3k

It'll not be well with scam.

I don't even know we have pastor contesting , their is a way God appointed Jonathan before him Bleep up later, such way ,osinbanjo has more chances than him, he should fight for VP just like good Jonathan and we know the next if God wanted him, he they should face their Bible ja re

Good Lord. This just gave me a headache.

Okotie the clown �

is this not the same pastor that always claim God said he would win the election? I guess the story line is a bit different this election season. Let's not be decieved by the pastoral clout. We all felt Osinbajo would quell Baba's fire as VP as a redeemed pastor, but there are more Christian deaths in this regime than there has ever been. #Fact.

Aboki, stop making noise that Atiku is your choice. PDP delegates collected dollars and gave you Atiku. You have no choice.

The only experience atiku has is on looting.

Ridiculous!

haha

This charlatan and hubris are like 5 & 6. Every election cycle he comes out to yarn the same dust about how he has been chosen to be the next president, and how his 'god' will make him the next president of Nigeria. How people are still able to bring themselves to follow him still defies logic.

That should prove to you that Christianity is a big joke.

Instead of this man to be wasting his money buying ticket every four years, I think the best he should do is to establish an NGO which will take care of the destitute in the society and with that, he will even be more popular than most African presidents. As far as am concerned, he is just making a joke.

Reverend Chris Okotie, pastor of the Household of God Church and presidential candidate of Fresh Party for the 2019 elections, argues, in this interview, that all the other presidential candidates need to step down for him so he can set up an Interim National Government. This, Okotie says, is the only way to take Nigeria out the woods

Daily Trust: In recent times, you have been speaking on what you believe is the need for Nigeria to have an Interim National Government (ING). What exactly is the proposition all about?

Reverend Chris Okotie: What I am saying is that the current arrangement in the political hemisphere is not workable because the political class has refused to recognise the seriousness of the existential adversary that confronts us at this time. We are at a juncture in our national evolution where we must come to a halt temporarily and have an ad hoc measure, which is the Interim National Government, to deal with the fundamental issues that beset our nation, and to restructure and change the Constitution. No extant government can do these things. That’s what I’m saying.

DT: Doesn’t your idea render the Fresh Party’s presidential ticket, which you have been given, useless?

Okotie: Yes, I already have the Fresh Party’s presidential ticket, and that means we shall be participating in the presidential election slated for February 2019. But what I am saying is that all other parties should not field candidates against me in the 2019 presidential election so that it would be easy for me to set up the Interim National Government. If they don’t field candidates, it means I have won and what I’d do immediately is set up an ING instead of the normal or ordinary government that is put in place, where we have the legislature, judiciary and all of that that is not workable. An interim government will not need a legislature and it is at this time that we can redesign the political landscape.

DT: Would you be executing this idea on the platform of the Fresh Party?

Okotie: I have to run for election on the platform of a political party. After the election has been held, the creation of the Interim National Government is another step.

DT: How do you think this would work out during the election?

Okotie: Since it would be based on consensus, it would be based on the reality of the time. By the time the 2019 election holds, I am sure we shall be coming to a point to realise that the only way forward is to have a paradigm shift, and that has to be the ING.

DT: But many have argued that the ING idea is not recognized by the Nigerian Constitution. How do you hope to navigate the legal challenge?

Okotie: That is totally irrelevant. The Constitution was created by men. It can be suspended and we can put an ad hoc mechanism in place to legalise the machinery of an interim government. It can be done. It is not impossible.

DT: In the proposed ING, you offer yourself as the person to lead the arrangement. How acceptable do you think your offer would be to other political stakeholders?

Okotie: That would be predicated on the reality of that day. When this whole sequence had played itself out, it would become obvious that there was no other way forward. There is no partisan political equilibrium that can salvage Nigeria at this juncture of our national evolution because the problems that confront us are gargantuan.

DT: So how prepared are you to deal with these gargantuan problems?

Okotie: I am very prepared. If you notice, all these years, I have not engaged in any political participation at any level because my political philosophy is quite different. The ideology that I believe in is diametrically opposed to that of the status quo. And that is why I have not been part of APC, PDP or any other national party.

DT: You are a pastor, so how do you hope to drive your message to non-Christians?

Okotie: We will drive the message when there is a national platform in place, which is the ING. Yes, we must rise above the issues of religion and ethnicity. I have assumed an altitude where these cleavages diminish to mere superficial laceration in the terrain of national integration. But it can only be advocated on a national platform that is recognizable.

DT: If your idea works out, what would be your area of focus when you lead the ING?

Okotie: First and foremost, we must redesign our Constitution. That is clear. This Federalism that we run is what I call terminological inexactitude. It is a lie. It’s a deceit. This is not federalism; it’s more like a unitary government. When you look at its centrifigure, you will discover that there is disequilibrium. We need to address the problem of ethnicity and how that plays out in our polity, and then work on reconciliation. There is a need to restructure our nation.

The ultra confused pastor.

onez:

I no be thief

step down for who? you think this is the church that ppl would be worshiping you and kneeling down calling papa or mama. Nigeria is not a one man biz either you compete with other candidates and prove your worth and plans for the country or you just go back to your little country "the church" where ppl would gladly step down for you to brainwash them.

Say No to Hard Drugs

This man again, he's dreaming o.

PS: Do pastors too smoke weed?

Okotie why

Lukebryan2sure:

What did Jesus and his disciple do when they had bad people ruling them? How many of Jesus disciples who are the first Christian go for political offices? Only a true Christian will see the truth in what I'm saying. Thy kingdom come. This is what christ ask us to pray for. Satan said this world has been given onto his hands, which is true. And he is in control. So if your pastor engage in politics, who is he working for? Use your head abeg. Majority going into naija politics are thieves.
