June 20, (THEWILL) – The General Overseer of Household of God Church, Reverend Chris Okotie, has asked political parties’ presidential candidates to step down for him to take over from President Muhammadu Buhari.
He also urged Buhari to hand over to him as Interim President in 2023, noting that he is the right person to right the wrongs in the country.
He made this known on Sunday, while addressing journalists at his church in Oregun, Ikeja, when he celebrated his 63rd birthday anniversary.
Explaining the rationale behind his request, Okotie noted that he had proposed to become the interim president because that was the solution to the country’s challenges.
According to him, we are blessed as a nation with all human and natural resources, yet we are not moving forward. Through my government, everything will be alright.
“I want to appeal to all presidential candidates to withdraw from the race and allow me to come in as interim president. I want to implore Asiwaju to support my government for the betterment of the country and I also want to tell Obi that the system that introduced him cannot take him anywhere because he cannot operate in the system that we have now.
“All the presidential candidate should support me to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari as the interim president.
“We must also raise above tribe and religion because there is an imbalance in the country and we are not practicing federalism, instead, what we are practicing is the presidential system of government.
“Since 1999, things have been declining because the presidential system of government we are practicing has failed us.
“We must get rid of the National and State Assemblies because maintaining each member cost the country millions of naira. Some of the standing committees at both assemblies are not useful to the country.
“They are only representing themselves not the populace.
For the best of the country, both assemblies should be scrapped and the money used in maintaining them should be used for something else.
“My government will be that of National reconcilation and reconstruction.”
