Founder, Mountain of Holy Ghost Intervention and Deliverance Ministry, Chukwuemeka Ohanaemere, aka Prophet Odumeje, has declared his intention to run for Nigeria’s presidency in 2027.
According to him, the country needs young, digital-minded leaders and “not old cargoes.”
The Anambra-based cleric made the announcement during a sermon on Sunday, a video of which has since gone viral on social media.
However, he did not disclose the political party under which he plans to contest.
He said, “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.
“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.”
