The fine boy controversial General overseer of the Household of God
church, Oregun, Ikeja, Lagos, who seem to have become a perennial
Presidential aspirant we hear is set to contest again come 2015.
The very wealthy man of God, who is also a well acknowledged
philanthropist, by virtue of his annual intervention known to all as
Karis Awards, which seeks to recognize and financially reward Nigerian
citizens, who had served their country selflessly, is said to have made
known his plans very recently.
The 55 year old very flamboyant pastor, televangelist & author, a
noted orator at that (born June 16, 1958), who in the last quarter of
2013 celebrated his 27 years as a pastor and 30 years as a born again
christian by buying 2 very impressive & expensive luxury cars said
to be valued at not less than N110 million (Rolls Royce 2014 bespoke
Phantom coupe series II & a Range Rover Autobiography), if he does
run for the election would be making it the 3rd time, he would be doing
so.
The twice divorced, multimillionaire pastor (Forbes rated as one of
the top 5 richest Nigerian pastors) has contested severally for the
highest office in the land since 2003. The first time he contested was
as the presidential aspirant of the then Justice Party of Nigeria, and
he was one of those that lost to Chief Olusegun Aremu Okikiola Obasanjo,
when the retired General ran for his 2nd term in office. He later on
moved to another party, National Democratic Party, also as the
presidential aspirant of that party, it was from this party that he set
up his own political party, Fresh Democratic Party, the party he
represented as the presidential aspirant against the now late Alhaji
Umaru Yar’Adua, who he against lost to at the 2007 elections. He did not
participate at the 2011 elections against the present
commander-in-chief, Dr. Goodluck Azikwe Ebele Jonathan.
According to the very well spoken man of God, his bid to rule the
most populated black nation on earth-Nigeria, is according to a divine
mandate from the God of Creation. Apparently, this divine mandate from
God is what has continually fueled his desire and that has made him a
serial presidential candidate. So until this divine mandate is
fulfilled, we would most probably be seeing the super cars loving pastor
contesting for a long while.
A bit about his resume, the former top Nigerian pop star of the 80s,
attended the renowned Edo College, Benin City, Edo state for his
secondary school education, he thereafter went to the University of
Nigeria, Nsukka, Enugu state, where he graduated with a degree in law.
It was while he was at the law school that he embraced Christ and
thereafter went to Grace Fellowship Bible School, for his pastoral
training and thereafter set up the Household of God Church.
Let’s just hope that this would be a 3rd time lucky for our beloved
but controversial man of God. One is just curious to ask the question,
whether the very large Catholic follower-ship would vote for him, who he
is reported to have said are all hell bound and their head the
Anti-Christ would vote for him, since we all know that election
basically is a game of numbers. So we await 2015 with bated breath.
Is Pastor Kris Okotie the God anointed leader that we have all been waiting for? 2015 is just around the corner.
