No small party has such capacity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUntil the political system is restructured to shift the emphasis away from parties to the people, the dominant parties would continue to hold sway,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2022\/08\/18\/restructuring-wont-lead-to-secession-says-okotie\/\">Okotie<\/a> said.<\/p>\n<p>On why he set up FRESH after running for president on the Justice Party, and the NDP, Okotie said it was a deliberate effort to promote his agenda for a paradigm shift.<\/p>\n<p>He said he knew he would never be able to defeat the two dominant parties in a presidential election.<\/p>\n<p>He explained why he did not join either the APC or the PDP: \u201cIf I join any of these parties, I would become part of the problem. Most of the big men go to these parties because all they want is power for personal aggrandizement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Asked if he ever considered the option of relocating abroad because of the complex problems facing the nation, Okotie said he would not leave Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t want anyone to take from me the land that God gave to me,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He said he would continue to promote restructuring and its interim government component, ruling out the option of giving up.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am already successful in my area of calling. I don\u2019t need to run away. A time will come when people will depend on what I have said in this restructuring campaign,\u201d Okotie explained.<\/p>\n<p>He also expressed grief on the death of Queen Elizabeth II, saying his prayers were with the British people and others around the world at this moment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reverend Chris Okotie has revealed why smaller parties cannot win the presidential election in Nigeria.
