Nigerian preacher Prophet Odùméje declares his presidential ambition for 2027, calling for a “young and digital leader” to lead Nigeria. His fiery sermon has sparked mixed reactions, with some dismissing it as a publicity stunt while others support his unorthodox approach.
In a dramatic and fiery sermon, Nigerian preacher Chukwuemeka Cyril Ohanaemere, also known as Prophet Odùméje or "Indaboski Bahose," announced his intention to run for president in the 2027 general elections. Speaking to his congregation at The Mountain of Holy Ghost Intervention and Deliverance Ministry, Odùméje emphasized the need for a “young and digital leader” to steer the country away from its traditional, older leadership. He boldly declared, “We need a young leader...not old cargos,” positioning himself as a modern, tech-savvy alternative to Nigeria's conventional political figures.
The flamboyant cleric, known for his larger-than-life persona and unconventional ministry approach, engaged his audience with passionate calls, asking, “Are you ready for me?” Despite his fiery speech, he refrained from outlining specifics about his political party or detailed plans, leaving many questions about his political direction unanswered.
His announcement has triggered mixed reactions on social media, with some dismissing it as a publicity stunt while others are intrigued by his potential political future. Some social media users expressed enthusiasm, with comments ranging from playful to cautiously optimistic about his unconventional bid. As the 2027 elections approach, it remains to be seen whether Odùméje will formalize his candidacy and challenge more traditional political figures or remain a controversial outsider in Nigerian politics
