He told the panel of interviewers, "There is nothing the new government would do that hasn't been done before," insisting that any significant change in Nigeria's political dynamics could not happen. produce only after the restructuring of the country.
This was at the heart of Reverend Okotie's campaign for the establishment of an interim government, to bring about real change in our political system.
Okotie said: "To continue this transition is to wallow in the miasma of political degeneration. Therefore, now is the right time to restructure the country, otherwise Nigeria risks disintegration.
>"We need to come together to discuss how we can have a real national identity, how to move forward because we have no other nation.
"The reality we face shows that the presidential system is not the way to go because it breeds corruption, mismanagement and personal aggrandizement.
“We tried the Westminster system; it did not work. Let's do our own thing which is indigenous democracy, a system that guarantees inclusiveness and mass participation. »
According to Okotie, if Nigeria goes into an interim government, the country can devise a system that suits the culture of the people.
