#EndBadGovernance: Nigerians cursing Tinubu will be cursed, Asari Dokubo declares
Ex-Niger Delta militant Asari Dokubo has asked Nigerians to pray for President Bola Tinubu rather than rain curses on him, warning that people cursing the president will be cursed.
As Nigerians were ready for a potential nationwide #EndBadGovernance protest, women affairs minister Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye rallied women over the weekend to shun civil action.
Speaking to women at the event, Mr Dokubo said, “The president must be supported at this moment to save this country. People should set politics aside.”
Mr Dokubo added, “Those of you who can pray, pray for Mr President. Every religion says, ‘pray for your leaders’. When you are cursing the president, he is in the Aso Rock eating government food. The curse will not get to him. It would get to you first.”
