Rev Pastor Chris Okotie of the HouseHold
of God’s Church has opened up on his
intention to run for presidency position of
the Federal Republic of Nigeria as the
head of Interim National Government in
the 2019 general elections.
He made this known in his recent letter to
the Chairmen of APC and PDP seeking a
common ground between both parties to
create a philosophy that best describes
Nigeria as a nation with one common
goal.

PROPOSITION FOR SUPPORT FOR
GOVERNMENT OF NATIONAL
RECONCILIATION AND RECONSTRUCTION
I felicitate with you on your recent
election as National Chairman of the All
Progressives Congress (APC). Promotion
comes from God and man’s vertical
acceleration through the echelons is but
a token of the benignant superintendence
of divinity.
As we approach another election cycle,
the prognosis for a national crisis coveys
a reality of frightening proportions. We
are confronted by existential threats that
seek to engender the fragmentation and
disintegration of our nation as a holistic
entity. Nigeria has become a divided and
segregated society like never before. We
have become polarized by ethnicity; we
have become balkanized by religious
fundamentalism. We have become
fractured by political insensitivity and
leadership disability.
The advent of the Boko Haram insurgents
and the ubiquitous Fulani herdsmen
phenomenon have further exacerbated
social insecurity and cast nebulous
clouds over the viability of our union. The
concentric arrangements of the WAZOBIA
alliances have been a disaster;
engendering the marginalization of the
smaller ethnic units, thus, perforating the
canopy of the Federalism under whose
aegis we co-exist.
The dream of a great Nigeria which
flowered at Independence, the yearnings
and aspirations of the people and the
Nigerian brotherhood whose ensign
dominated the political horizon at
Independence have all been consigned to
oblivion. The worrisome symptoms
indicative of the restiveness signaling the
preamble to the Civil War of the past
have re-emerged in more definite
configuration and now form a circadian
rhythm which must be addressed
immediately. We must act now to avert
the manifestation of the great inevitable.
Times like these require the recruitment of
patriotic gladiators who must now take
up the gauntlet to defend the Nigerian
dream. I believe we are conditioned by
our circumstances to rise to the occasion
of our reality.
Please permit me to reminisce, for a
moment, in Romanic antiquity. There were
incessant wars between Rome and
Carthage in those days. In one of such
military campaigns, the Roman General
Regulus was captured and taken to
Carthage. He was brought before the
ruling council and promised liberty if he
would return to Rome and persuade the
Romans to enter into a peace treaty with
Carthage. The people of Carthage were
war weary and envisaged that this
strategy would provide a tactical leverage
to negotiate a cease-fire with Rome.
However, there was a proviso that if
General Regulus was unable to do so, he
was to return to Carthage to face
execution. The General agreed and was
set free based on the integrity of his
word as a Roman.
General Regulus returned to Rome and
passionately appealed to the Roman
Senate not to make peace with Carthage.
He posited that Rome could never achieve
true greatness as long as Carthage
existed as a formidable adversary. The
Roman Senate agreed with him. General
Regulus left the Senate, went home,
kissed his wife and little baby; and
returned to Carthage.
He did not have to go back to Carthage
but he was propelled by the irresistible
summons of honour and integrity as a
Roman General. He was publicly executed
in Carthage in a most horrendous
manner. It was not the potent Roman
sword called the machaira that gave
Rome universal supremacy. Rather, it was
the courage and patriotic zeal of men like
General Regulus that inspired Rome to
the apogee of universal greatness.
Destiny summons us today to the same
pedestal of patriotic sacrifice.
Compelled by the same spirit, I have re-
emerged from my political hibernation to
contest for the Office of President in the
forthcoming elections. I am fully
persuaded that Nigeria needs a man who
is credible, dependable and trustworthy.
A God-fearing man who is embroidered
with compassion and love for country. A
man who will be readily accepted as a
symbol of national unity, who can bring
genuine reconciliation and guarantee
peace and tranquility in our nation. A
man who is completely insulated from the
variegated conflicts that mark the
antecedents of our major political actors.
A man who can apply the principles of
malice towards none and charity for all;
who can invoke a Pan-Nigerian
philosophy that rejects the partisan
provincialism of finger pointing at this
time when Nigeria is threatened by
existential adversaries. A man with the
requisite intellectual capacity and moral
perpendicularity. I believe that the
benevolent grace of God has telescoped
these virtues into my person, to prepare
me for such a time as this.
Nigeria is in dire need of restructuring.
Our federalism is simply terminological
inexactitude. It is a realistic piece of
fakery. The Constitution of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria is obsolete,
retrogressive and subversive to the
Nigerian cause. It can no longer subsist
as the legal protocol that guarantees the
peaceful co-existence of autonomous
ethnicities. No extant or subsisting
government can right these aberrations,
for obvious reasons of parochial party
considerations and entrenched partisan
rivalries within the polity.
My mandate, therefore, will be to set up
an interim government which I have
christened GOVERNMENT OF NATIONAL
RECONCILIATION AND RECONSTRUCTION
as the mechanical instrumentality for the
crystallization of the new Nigeria of our
dreams. It would be predicated on a new
concept of Aboriginal democracy. Our
current democracy has been hijacked by
elitism, mysticism and Satanism.
Aboriginal democracy will focus on
cultural historicity, evolutional modernity
and global relativity as the necessary
ingredients of our evolutional political
indigenisation. Under this system, the
current legislature would merge with the
judiciary to create a unique judicature
that administers justice and shares the
enactment of legislative responsibilities
with the Presidency. This would save us
the huge cost of running the National
Assembly and obviate all the paralyzing
debates that often stalled the passage of
bills.
In sincere humility and deference to our
democratic institutions, I appeal to the
APC to subscribe its support to this ideal
by adopting me as a consensus
presidential candidate at the next
elections. I ask the APC, respectfully,
within the confines of conventional
propriety, to temporize and observe a
peaceful hiatus in the commonality of the
Nigerian brotherhood; and embrace me
as a consensus remedial facilitator. This
of course is tantamount to a paradigm
shift and the only way forward. I have
extended the same overtures to the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
There is an intrinsic resilience embedded
in our national psyche which must now
be summoned to strengthen the feeble
hands of discouragement and re-ignite
hope in the Nigerian fraternity. This is
our reasonable service. This is the
season. This is the time to demonstrate
our love for Nigeria. Indeed, love is
coterminous with sacrifice.
I am fully persuaded that when posterity
recalls our voluntary capitulations for the
love of our great country, it shall be said
that there were giants in Nigeria in those
days.
May the blessing of the God of heaven be
vouchsafed to you in the plenitude of His
grace.
