By Muhammad A. Aliyu

‘Controversial cleric and founder of the Mountain of Holy Ghost Intervention Church, Chukwuemeka Odumeje, popularly known as Indaboski, has declared his intention to run for Nigeria’s presidency, urging Nigerians to embrace a new generation of “digital leadership”.

Odumeje announced his ambition in a widely circulated video recorded during a recent church service. Although he did not specify the exact year for his presidential bid, political analysts suggest it could align with the upcoming 2027 elections, as politicians have already started early preparations.

In the viral video, Odumeje passionately stated:

“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.”
