Pastor Okotie supports calls for restructuring, suggests ways in solving the different crisis in Nigeria

Senior Shepherd of the Household of God Church International Ministries in Lagos, Rev Chris Okotie, has supported the call for restructuring and has proffered two solutions which according to him, if implemented, could help salvage Nigeria from its current crises.

In a statement titled, ‘Major Crisis Imminent, Okotie Warns.’, the clergyman advised that the restructuring of the country to accommodate fiscal federalism and a total replacement of the 1999 Constitution are the two remedies to save the most populous black nation on earth.

“Nigeria is at the cusp of a major crisis which is a precursor to its rebirth. Pristine forces which have been a perennial impediment to the fulfilment of Nigeria’s prophetic destiny are about to be pulverized,” he said

Okotie who identified the parlous state of the economy, corruption, and endemic poverty as the root causes of the nation’s security crisis called for more practical measures against the spread of violence in the country.

He said he supports the ”calls for restructuring as one of the key solutions to the problems of nationalities, inequality and ethnic divisions that inhibit national cohesion.” According to him, “the battle between centripetal and centrifugal forces would continue to fuel instability, unless the constitution is changed to reflect national diversity.”
