“I Never Prayed For Muslim-Muslim Ticket And I Will Never” — Pastor Dachomo Refutes Claims, Likens Plateau Killings To Jewish Genocide

Speaking from a visit to the Holocaust Memorial in Jerusalem, Pastor Ezekiel Dachomo has directly addressed the viral controversy surrounding his previous prayer for President Bola Tinubu, forcefully rejecting accusations that he endorsed a single-faith administration.

In a video statement recorded against the backdrop of the memorial site, the Plateau-based cleric clarified his stance, denying rumors that he backed a “Muslim-Muslim ticket.”
“I didn’t pray for a Muslim-Muslim ticket, and I will never pray for that,” Dachomo stated. “I pray for individuals that are leading me because the Bible says, ‘Pray for your government.’ I am obeying the Bible, not human philosophy or human ideologies.”

Drawing Parallels To The Holocaust

Reflecting on the atrocities documented at the Holocaust site, Pastor Dachomo drew sharp comparisons between the historical genocide of the Jewish people and the current security crises facing communities in Nigeria.

The cleric said he saw videos of how Jews were dragged into gas chambers and the shoes they left behind, which reminded him of what is happening in Nigeria.

He cited ongoing attacks by Boko Haram and ISWAP, describing scenarios where innocent citizens are dragged into bushes and killed the way Jews were killed.

He cautioned that propaganda and false narratives are being used in Nigeria to cover up targeted violence against Christian communities, similar to historical Nazi propaganda campaigns.
“They are framing lies against Christians in Nigeria so that they will have the strength to kill us, to butcher us, and declare that there is no genocide where there is genocide,” he asserted.
A Call For Survival And National Unity

Addressing the broader socio-political landscape in Nigeria, Dachomo urged Nigerian Christians to take a stand for their survival, linking their plight to Israel’s ongoing fight for existence.

Despite his firm stance on Christian persecution, the cleric emphasized that Nigeria belongs to all its citizens regardless of religious belief.
“Nigeria is not for Muslims alone; it is for both of us — both Muslims and Christians,” Dachomo declared, calling on citizens of all faiths to unite against violence and pray for peaceful coexistence.
He also claimed that even Palestinians prefer to stay with Israel than with Hamas, alleging that Hamas has killed many of their beloved ones and that Israel is protecting them.

In his closing remarks, the pastor warned that those who brutalize Jews will face God’s judgment, citing Hitler’s fate, and prayed for martyrs of Christians worldwide.

He concluded his message with prayers for victims of religious violence globally and called on the international community, particularly Christian leaders in the West, to stand against injustice and speak out against religious persecution.
