Rev. Chris Okotie, Fresh Party presidential candidate and founder of the Household of God church has said 2019 is Nigeria’s opportunity to get it right.
Okotie, who recently renewed his ambition to run for the President of the country in 2019 said the Nigerian society has become more sophisticated, adding that people are praying for a divine intervention.
Okotie made this known in an interview with Punch.
“I’m saying that there is a presumption that the political class think that nothing can happen, and it is called arrogance because they feel they have a measure of control over the people. There was a time that the PDP said they would be in government for 60 years and the APC has also fallen into that same mode, thinking it would govern Nigeria for as long as it likes. And there is nothing wrong with that because it is just political braggadocio. But what I’m saying is that if they are observant, they would notice that the Nigerian society has become more sophisticated than it used to be.
“People are praying and hoping that there would be a divine intervention because a power that is higher than their power must intercept this process. I believe God would do it because we have been praying across the nation like in the days of the late Sani Abacha (military head of state). Something is going to happen and I can tell you that confidently; and that would bring all of us to a table to dialogue with one another about the future of this nation. It’s not going to end the same way it did in 2015, because if it does, this nation is headed for a civil war or some catastrophe and that’s not what anybody wants. That is why I’m saying it is the last chance Nigeria has to turn away from this route”.
