Chris Okotie, the founder of the Household of God Church and a past presidential contender, has cautioned that restructuring is necessary for Nigeria’s existence.
According to Okotie’s New Year’s greeting, which was made public by his media adviser, Ladi Ayodeji, the cleric stated that for Nigeria to survive the expected global economic catastrophe in 2023, it would need solid governance institutions and a stable politics.
The statement read, “In continuation of his interim government campaign that he began in 2019, Okotie said that for Nigeria to overcome the 2023 global economic headwinds predicted by experts, the country would need strong governance structures and a stable polity which are absent in the present constitution,” adding, “Unless his Aboriginal Democracy proposition is adopted, the country could flounder under a severe socio-political and economic crisis.”
The proponent of an interim administration observed that, under the terms of the current constitution, Nigeria has no choice but to continue borrowing in order to maintain the country given that 80% of its income is needed to pay off its current debt of N77 trillion against a backdrop of a bloated bureaucracy.
He said, “In the light of this reality, a new constitution is required to deal with all the existential problems in all spheres of our national life, which is why Aboriginal Democracy is recommended.”

According to the statement, Okotie expressed concern that the International Monetary Fund has warned that one-third of the world, including Nigeria, would be in recession this year.
He urged his congregation at his church, during the New Year service to pray for the peace and prosperity of Nigeria.
“Every member of this church should continue to set aside a few hours to pray for Nigeria because the Household of God was set up to play a pivotal role in the destiny of this country, that’s why I am involved in the political process,” he said.
