It is futile to base any political promise on the present dysfunctional constitution – Chris Okotie

Founder of Household of God Church, Rev. Chris Okotie, has expressed that it will be futile for the Presidential candidates to base their political promises on the constitution which he described as dysfunctional.

The cleric shared this in a statement on Monday. He said the presidential candidates are focusing on the promises but fail to look at conditions attached to fulfilling such.

He also called for a new constitution that would address Nigeria’s problems

He said; “All the major presidential flagbearers are talking about modality – how they would do what – none is addressing conditionality, that is, the constitution, true federalism, resource control, as the primary solution to the Nigerian quandary.

“Nigeria’s governmental incapacity is not modalities (about requisite knowledge and procedure), but conditionalities (inherent conditional obstructions).

“To attempt to base any actualization of political promises on the present dysfunctional constitution is a journey in futility.”
