oya now!......this is the news you have been waiting for...this explains a lot!
Despite losing
the bid to become Nigeria’s president on two occasions, Pastor Chris
Okotie of the Household of God Church International Ministries has
announced his intention to run for the nation’s number one position in
2015.
Okotie said he
would contest for Presidency under the platform of the FRESH Democratic
Party. He however refused to disclose the strategy being put in place
to ensure his victory in next year’s presidential election.
He said, “I
don’t want to talk about our strategy for now, we have learnt from our
past experience, we don’t want to talk about it for now.’’
FRESH
party was recently proscribed by the Independent National Electoral
Commission but the party won a court victory against its de-registration
in June last year.
FRESH, stands
for Faith, Responsibility, Equality, Security and Hope. According to
Okotie, only a fresh Nigerian can salvage the nation. He said all the
cosmetic and superficial activities that were going on in the ruling
party were a journey in futility.
Okotie first
ran for President under the banner of the Justice Party and lost to
former President Olusegun Obasanjo in May 2003 elections. He ran again
in May 2007 as a member of the Fresh Democratic Party and lost to the
late President Umaru Yar’Adua.
“God spoke to
me about my participation in the political process, which was why I took
the step in the first place. He has not said anything contrary.’’
Reminded that
he had always lost in past elections and that people might actually
doubt if he was instructed by God to contest in election, he said as a
servant of God his duty was to obey God’s instructions. He explained
that he lost in past elections because of the prevalence of election
malpractices especially by the ruling Peoples Democratic Party. He said,
“I can sum it up in one word-rigging by the PDP......Saturday PUNCH
*He is
contesting for the third time running...if his vision to become
President is from God,no man can stand in his way..i wish him all the
best........Gods time may tarry but it surely comes!
