Controversial Nigerian preacher Prophet Chukwuemeka Odumeje has once again stirred public attention following the circulation of a campaign poster suggesting his interest in the 2027 presidential race.
The poster, which surfaced online this week, shows Prophet Odumeje allegedly contesting under an unknown political party named “PDK.” While the source of the poster remains unverified, it has quickly gone viral on social media, igniting a wave of mixed reactions from Nigerians. The image of Odumeje’s presidential campaign poster, with its bold and striking design, has sparked conversations, with many questioning whether the popular preacher is genuinely considering running for office or if it’s just another stunt for attention.
This development comes just weeks after the self-styled “Indaboski” prophet publicly declared his intention to vie for the presidency in 2027. At the time, Odumeje emphasized the need for a youthful, energetic leader to take over Nigeria’s top political seat, positioning himself as the man for the job. His bold declarations were made during a sermon where he stated that Nigeria needed a leader who was full of energy and passion, suggesting he had the vitality to bring about change in the country. His announcement sparked further curiosity as people began to wonder if the preacher was serious about his presidential bid or if it was just another element of his theatrical persona.
However, neither Odumeje nor any official campaign team has confirmed the authenticity of the poster. The preacher, known for his dramatic sermons and unconventional style, has yet to address the viral poster, leaving many Nigerians speculating on whether his presidential ambition is genuine or part of his theatrics. The uncertainty surrounding the poster's legitimacy has left many questioning whether the controversial preacher is serious about politics or if it's simply a publicity stunt to garner attention ahead of his next public appearance or sermon. Despite the lack of confirmation, the poster continues to stir buzz online, with people continuing to discuss the possibility of Prophet Odumeje entering the political scene.
Reactions have continued to trail the poster online, with a large number of Nigerians treating it as satire. Many social media users are finding the entire situation humorous, with some suggesting that it’s too far-fetched to believe. While some are enjoying the spectacle, others are more critical, wondering whether this is a serious statement or just part of the preacher’s usual eccentricity. One social media user, @salimibrahim1, reacted, “Be like these men don dey on some substances 😂,” implying that the idea of Odumeje running for president was beyond belief. Another user, @sarmy_kay, added, “If this is real it’s going to be my first time getting a voter’s card,” humorously suggesting that the prospect of Odumeje as president would push him to vote. @IdrisEffiong said, “Wetin incaboski want come do for aso rock 🤣🤣,” further fueling the playful mockery of the situation. The mixed reactions online reflect the widespread confusion and amusement surrounding the situation.
