I'm using an openshift cluster to deploy my k8s operator. I deployed the operator manually not from the operator hub. I was able to deploy the operator successfully. But when I try to do a deployment through the operator it gives me the following error.

If I execute "kubectl logs command":

{"level":"info","ts":1585406191.404172,"logger":"cmd","msg":"Go Version: go1.13"}
{"level":"info","ts":1585406191.404281,"logger":"cmd","msg":"Go OS/Arch: linux/amd64"}

{"level":"info","ts":1585406192.661973,"logger":"leader","msg":"Not the leader. Waiting."}

It looks like my pods never getting ready due to this lock, any solutions?
