Rev Chris Okotie has warned Nigerians not to be deceived by crowds they see in political rallies.
The clergyman stated that the presence of a mixed multitude in a campaign ground does not automatically translate to the support of the people.
Speaking via his latest bulletin released from his media office in Lagos, by his media adviser, Ladi Ayodeji, Okotie said crowd-renting is mainly responsible for the crowd at rallies.
He stated that this is the reason that the same individuals are seen in rallies of different political parties. The interim government campaigner explained that some people also attend the rallies out of curiosity or to catch a glimpse of the political leaders or to be part of the action.
Speaking on the 2023 election in an interview with Kaftan TV’s Funmilayo Osho -Kumolu, on the programme, Daybreak Africa, State of the Nation, the Reverend insisted that Aboriginal Democracy is the only concept that could produce the change Nigeria needs, not an election as being pursued.
Okotie said:’Nigeria’s second attempt at democracy has failed us as a nation.’
He argued that an interim government would be effective in fashioning a new effective constitution that would be acceptable to all the federating units, before a realistic election could be conducted.
