Controversial Onitsha-based cleric, Chukwuemeka Ohanaemere who is widely known as Odumeje, has announced his intention to pursue the presidential rseat in Nigeria.
Gatekeepers News reports that Odumeje has, however, not specified the election year in which he plans to pursue this ambition. The upcoming presidential election is set for 2027, and political figures are already beginning to strategize in preparation for the event.
In a viral video showing the prophet speaking at his church, Mountain of Holy Ghost Intervention and Deliverance Ministry in Anambra state, Odumeje said he understands the plights of Nigerians.
He said if elected president, he would provide Nigerians with “modern and digital life.”
Odumeje said the country needs a younger leader who is in tune with the people.
“We need a young leader in this country, and I think I am coming out. We need a young leader as a president, a digital leader, not old cargoes. I think I will come out, I will come out for president,” he said in the video.
“Are you ready for me? Odumeje for president? Are you ready for me? Because I know what you need. I know what you want.
“I want to construct a main road called Citadel for you. I want to give you a modern life, a digital life.”
