The President of Christ Apostolic Church Worldwide, Dr. Henry Ojo, has urged President Bola Tinubu to find a way to review the present constitution of the country, which he said armed those in government with excessive power.
Speaking with newsmen at the 28th anniversary celebration of Christ Apostolic Church Arogungbogunmi International, Ibadan, recently, Dr. Ojo said for the newly issued Supreme Court judgment on local government funding to be a thing of reality, the presidential system of government and the 1999 constitution, which he noted was foisted on the people by the military must be reviewed.
“I discovered that it is not the problem of those who are in government. It is the problem of the constitution. Our constitution is problematic and needs to be rewritten. There is nothing that President Bola Tinubu can do outside the provisions of the constitution. If he wants to tamper with the country’s constitution, we would accuse him of failing to follow it.
“The only thing he can do now is to constitute a constitution amendment committee to amend it. The presidential system of government is very expensive. Since Nigeria adopted the presidential system of government, we have been having problems. Those in the National Assembly are not supposed to be there full-time, but our constitution says that they should be there full-time. Until we restructure the country, nothing will change.
“I believe that this would usher in development at the grassroots level. If we have the federal, state, and local governments running well, it would be better. However, a situation where the governors pocket the local government councils could not be helped. Now, we can hold the local government responsible if there is no development,” Dr. Ojo said.
Speaking further, Dr. Ojo advised Christians all over the world to be steadfast and to prepare for the rapture of the believers.
“My word to Christians all over the world is to be steadfast. We’re getting closer to the end of the world. What is happening across the globe is a sign that the coming of the Lord is at hand. The church should prepare for the rapture of believers,” he added.
Also speaking at the epochal event, the General Evangelist of CAC Worldwide, Prophet Richard Kolawole, attributed the success story of CAC Arogungbogunmi International to God, who made it possible.
“Christ Apostolic Church Arogungbogunmi clocked 28 today. This church is in a pagan community. It was the grace of God that made this church stand until today. It was not an easy task for this church to survive here.
“We thank God. We showed the people love. Before you can win a soul for Christ, you must use the principle of love. I can tell you categorically that 85 percent of the entire population of this church are converts. We didn’t bring members of other churches to this place. God used us to win souls for Christ here.
“Those who are here were those whose hearts were won to Christ through the ministration here, not members of other churches. They were won to Christ through the ministry of this church.
“I exalt the King of Kings for my appointment as the General Evangelist of CAC, Nigeria, and Overseas on October 17, 2023. I started the ministry as a young evangelist. I celebrate the principal officers of this great mission. I celebrate my jewel, Prophetess Christiana Olanike Kolawole, for her invaluable roles,” the renowned cleric said.
Prophet Kolawole, who is also the founder of Christ Apostolic Church Arogungbogunmi International, Ibadan, further advised Christians to be vigilant, saying, “This is a difficult time; Christians should not fold their arms and should not keep quiet. We are approaching the end of the world. You can hear about happenings in America as well as Nigeria. We shall overcome it in Jesus name.”
