TOKO best template for Nigeria’s reformation — Okotie

Former presidential candidate and restructuring advocate, Rev Chris Okotie, has said that The Okotie Option (TOKO), proposed by him remains the best template for Nigeria’s reformation.

Speaking through his media adviser, Ladi Ayodeji, in Lagos, Okotie said the fierce contests and contentions among politicians before, during and after the polls, justified his call for a new constitution.
He said the reformation would be anchored on four major components: Reconciliation, Reconstruction, Solidarity and a new Foundation for development.

Explaining this proposition in greater details in a tweet, Okotie wrote, “It is time for Reconciliation; it is time for Reconstruction; it is time to join hands in solidarity; it is time to lay the foundation for posterity; it is time for TOKO. The Reformation of Nigeria is now!”

Okotie insists that ad-hoc amendments of the constitution as being proposed by some would not lead to any serious reformation because the current constitution, upon which the general election was held, has only produced greater division in the polity as being experienced.

Okotie lamented that his warning that the country should be restructured before the election was to avoid post-election crises and create the right atmosphere for a peaceful development of Nigeria.

While promising that the TOKO campaign would continue, he urged Nigerians to take part in the National Dialogue he is promoting to engender equity, peace and prosperity of Nigeria.

Rev Okotie asked the political gladiators to sheathe their swords and come to the roundtable to fashion out how to restructure the country.

“At the end of this exercise, we shall compile the various submissions and send a memorandum to the President, the National Assembly and other key stakeholders,” Okotie added.
