Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo, the Regional Chairman of the Church of Christ in Nations (
COCIN) for Barkin Ladi Local Government Area in Plateau State, has firmly denied
allegations that he prayed for or endorsed President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027
general election, according to a report by Daily Post Nigeria.

The denial follows claims made by prominent social media activist Martins Vincent
Otse, widely known as VeryDarkMan (VDM). In a widely circulated video, the activist
accused the cleric of reversing his previously critical stance against the current
administration and allegedly converting an international trip into a political prayer
platform.

## The Activist’s Accusations

According to the Daily Post report, Dachomo recently traveled to Israel, where he
had been expected to campaign against the persistent violence and killings affecting
Christian communities in Plateau State and the broader Middle Belt region. The activist
claimed that Dachomo was expected to address international leaders, including Israeli
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, regarding these security concerns.

However, VDM alleged that the cleric instead transformed the trip into prayer sessions
supporting President Tinubu and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) for the
2027 election. The activist further claimed that Dachomo had been compromised, suggesting
without presenting public evidence that the presidency had arranged the visit to
Israel. VDM also highlighted what he characterized as a sharp contradiction, noting
the cleric’s past vocal opposition to the APC administration and its Muslim-Muslim
presidential ticket.

## Dachomo’s Clarification and Pushback

Responding via his official social media channels, Rev. Dachomo dismissed the allegations
as completely unfounded. The cleric stated that he never prayed for Tinubu, Vice
President Kashim Shettima, or their political party to succeed in the upcoming general
election. Instead, he labeled unauthorized efforts to link his name to political
branding as wicked.

Dachomo stated that his prayers in Israel were focused on national peace, divine
intervention against malicious schemes, and the protection of vulnerable communities.
He maintained that rather than praying for electoral success, his prayers specifically
targeted election manipulation.

> “While Muslim-Muslim ticket supporters are thinking of rigging elections, the 
> only thing I am praying for is that they should fail in their evil deeds,” Dachomo
> stated, warning political operators against misusing his name.

The clergyman emphasized that his prayers called for divine intervention against
any elements seeking to rig future elections or deploy violence, adding that genuine
peace in Nigeria requires justice and mutual respect between Christian and Muslim
communities.

## Looking Ahead

The public exchange highlights the heightened scrutiny facing prominent religious
and civil figures in Nigeria as early discourse around the 2027 election cycle begins
to take shape. With security and faith remaining delicate subjects in the country’s
central belt, statements made by community leaders continue to draw swift and polarized
online reactions.

  TL;DR (AI Generated)

Reverend Ezekiel Dachomo has strongly denied allegations made by social media activist
VeryDarkMan that he prayed for President Bola Tinubu’s 2027 reelection during a 
recent trip to Israel.

The cleric dismissed the claims as unfounded and clarified that his prayers were
focused on national peace, divine protection, and the failure of any attempts to
rig future elections.

This controversy highlights the intense scrutiny and political tensions surrounding
religious figures in Nigeria as early preparations for the 2027 general election
begin.
