What Peter Ijagbemi said about Tinubu
Speaking in the viral video, the actor said he could confidently pray for his life to reflect the way Tinubu was allegedly reviving the country.
He added that he would not support a politician if he could not make such a prayer about the person's leadership.

He said:
“Now, I want to pray for you that is supporting Atiku, may the Lord make your life be the way Atiku treated Nigerians when he was a vice president. Now, you that is supporting Obi, I pray for you, as the Lord liveth, may your life be like the governance of Obi in Anambra State.”

“If you’re calling me bigot as a Yoruba man for supporting, then I rock my bigotry with pride.”
