Chukwuemeka Cyril Ohanaemere, popularly known as Odùméje, has declared his intention to contest Nigeria’s presidency in 2027.
The controversial pastor of The Mountain of Holy Ghost Intervention and Deliverance Ministry made this announcement during a church sermon, emphasizing the need for young and tech-savvy leadership.
“We need a young leader in this country, and I think I’m coming out,” Odùméje told his congregation.
“We need a young leader in this country as a president. A digital leader, not old cargos.”
Known for his dramatic preaching style and unconventional approach to ministry, Odùméje repeatedly engaged his audience, asking, “Are you ready for me? Are you ready for the president?”
He further stated, “Because I know what you need. Amen.”

The flamboyant cleric did not provide details on his political party or campaign strategy but positioned himself as a leader who understands modern governance.
“Can you get a modern life, a digital life?” he asked.
As the 2027 elections draw closer, it remains to be seen whether he will formalise his candidacy and challenge mainstream politicians.
