Erstwhile Fresh Democratic Party (FRESH) presidential candidate, Revd. Chris Okotie has vehemently opposed the presidential system of government, describing it as hydra-headed monster.
In his reaction to the new administration, Okotie maintained that Nigerians should not expect anything positive from the petition at the electoral tribunal given the system of government the country is practising.
: “It is hubristic naivety to envisage the emergence of a new Nigeria from a moribund political cocoon corrupted by duplicity, political criminality and the travesty of electoral-social etiquette.
“No matter the outcome of the adjudications of the cases brought before the Nigeria assizes, by opposing political parties, nothing tangible will be achieved under this debilitating system. We must be courageous enough to abandon this circadian rhythm of political disaster and leadership deficit.
“I am fully persuaded that aboriginal democracy is the only way forward. Let us make hay while the sun is still shining. To do otherwise is tantamount to mindless illogicality and clueless ineptitude.
“At 64, I envision Nigeria standing on the brink of the River Jordan anticipating an Aquarian miracle to facilitate our entry into the promised land. The God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Nigeria will make a way where there seems to be no way. He has heard our cry. He is faithful. Delay is no denial.” said Reveerend Okotie in a statement.
