God Told Me To Contest In 2015 Elections – Rev. Chris Okotie

Rev. Chris Okotie, has declared his intention to contest the 2015 presidential election even after he had failed twice. Okotie disclosed his intentions saying, “I will run in 2015, God willing. God spoke to me about my participation in the political process, which was why I took the step in the first place. He has not said anything contrary.” However, when asked, pastor refused to speak about the strategy saying, “I don’t want to talk about our strategy for now, we have learnt from our past experience, we don’t want to talk about it for now.” It would be recalled that Okotie first contested for President in 2003 under the Justice Party. He lost to former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP. In 2007 he gave it another try, and was defeated by the late President, Umaru Yar’Adua, also of the PDP. He claimed in all these while that God specifically told him to contest.
