"Una go dey talk, dey talk about this man, wetin Tinubu do you? All the allegations levelled against him, no one has been able to bring out evidence," Ijagbemi stated. "If you’re calling me bigot as a Yoruba man for supporting, then I rock my bigotry with pride."

Demonstrating his confidence in the administration, the actor offered a bold personal prayer, asking God to mirror his personal fortunes after Tinubu’s governance model.

Turning his attention to opposition camp followers, Ijagbemi issued targeted, sarcastic prayers referencing the past leadership records of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi.

"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," he said. "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."

Ijagbemi's public declaration adds to the rising political tension in the entertainment sector, joining a string of celebrity endorsements and backlashes as political movements gain momentum ahead of the 2027 general elections.
