Nigeria needs young, vibrant leaders like me — Odumeje declares presidential ambition

Anambra-based cleric, Prophet Chukwuemeka Ohanaemere, popularly known as Odumeje, has declared his intention to contest Nigeria’s presidency in the 2027 general elections.

The cleric made this known in a viral sermon video.

According to him, the country is in need of young, digital-minded leaders like him, not old leaders.

However, he did not reveal the political party under which he intends to run.

“Both past and present leaders have failed to move Nigeria forward due to their age and lack of vision. The country needs a vibrant, resilient, and forward-thinking leader like me to usher in real progress,” he said.

The cleric, renowned for his flamboyant preaching style, emphasised the need for youthful leadership and described himself as the kind of leader Nigeria needs.

“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. Am I sure you hear me? I think I will come out; I will come out for president,” he declared.

Addressing his congregation, Odumeje asked if they were prepared for his presidential ambition, promising to introduce modern development and a digitally driven way of life.

“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,” he said.
