A religious group, the Christian Movement for Transformation of the Nigerian System of Government to Biblical Theocracy, has advocated that the country’s name be changed from Nigeria to the Sovereign Theocratic State of Saints (STSS), to end insecurity and other criminality plaguing the nation.
Leader of the group, Ifeanyichukwu Kelvin Lawrence, made the call at a press conference in Warri, Delta State, assuring that God will stop Boko Haram insurgence, banditry, herdsmen killings, kidnappings among other security challenges facing Nigeria.
He posited that adoption of a new name and abolition of the 1999 constitution, as well as replacement with a divine based one, will help usher the desired changes in the country.
He presented what he described as the roadmap to the transformation of the Nigerian system of government to Biblical Theocracy.
