Odumeje Declares Intention To Run For Presidency, Says Nigeria Needs Young Leaders

Chukwuemeka Ohanaemere, the controversial Onitsha-based cleric better known as Odumeje, has declared his intention to run for Nigeria’s presidential seat.

Odumeje, however, did not state the specific election year he would actualise his presidential ambition.

The next presidential election is scheduled to hold in 2027 and political actors have begun to make moves ahead of the polls.

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.”
