Controversial cleric, Chukwuemeka Ohanaemere popularly known as Odumeje, has announced the intention to run for president, emphasising the need for a young, digital leader to drive the country forward.
Odumeje, in a video, expressed the desire to bring modern development and a digital way of life to Nigeria, even promising to construct a main road called Citadel.
Odumeje said: “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.
“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.”
Odumeje’s declaration has sparked mixed reactions online with some people dismissing it as a publicity stunt, while others see it as a bold move.
But he hasn’t disclosed which political party he plans to represent.
Odumeje’s announcement comes ahead of the 2027 presidential elections.
