Ezekiel Dachomo Clarifies Prayer for Tinubu's Government

Reverend Ezekiel Dachomo addressed criticism following a viral video in which he prayed for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's government. Activist VDM had previously criticized Dachomo for seemingly contradicting his earlier stance on the Tinubu administration's handling of insecurity.

In a video posted on 12 October 2026, Dachomo clarified that his prayer was not an endorsement but a desire for Nigerians to live without fear and to support one another. He emphasized that his prayer aimed to combat electoral rigging and manipulation, questioning the notion of praying for "success" in a biased political context.

Dachomo also warned against those misusing his name for campaign purposes, stating he does not pray for biased individuals. Additionally, he dismissed rumors about his health, confirming he is alive despite claims of serious illness circulating after a Plateau journalist, Masara Kim Usman, called for prayers on his behalf.
