Chris Okotie, general overseer of the Household of God Church, says God has asked him to tell the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to adopt him as consensus candidate in 2019. Okotie said this at his church on Sunday, while declaring interest to contest the 2019 presidential election. He said the time had come for truth and transparency in government, adding that Nigeria cannot succeed as a nation if it does not live by the truth. “Nigeria has become a divided and segregated society like never before,” he said. “The dream of a great Nigeria which flowered at independence, the yearnings and aspirations of the people and the Nigerian brotherhood whose ensign dominated the political horizon at independence have all been consigned to oblivion. “Times like this require the recruitment of patriotic gladiators who must now take up the gauntlet to defend the Nigerian dream. www.swiphtconsult.com.ng “I have re-emerged from my political...
