Dokubo made the remarks in a video shared on Facebook on Thursday, February 5, 2026, where he addressed issues of leadership, accountability, and the responsibility of public figures to speak against wrongdoing in society.
According to Dokubo, his position has remained unchanged over the years. He insisted that no individual, regardless of influence or status, should be seen to excuse violence or criminal acts.
“I have always condemned the actions of Sheikh Ahmad Gumi; you cannot support evil,” Dokubo said in the video, emphasizing that moral principles should guide leaders and public commentators at all times.
He explained that Nigeria’s ongoing security challenges require clear and consistent condemnation of violence from all quarters.
In his view, any form of justification for criminal activity risks worsening tensions and undermining efforts to restore peace in affected communities.
Dokubo also stressed that leaders, religious figures, and opinion shapers have a duty to promote justice and social responsibility.

He argued that silence or ambiguous statements in the face of violence can be interpreted as approval, which may embolden those involved in criminal acts.
“Leaders must speak clearly,” he said. “Failing to condemn evil is a betrayal of moral and civic duty.”
The activist further clarified that his criticism of Sheikh Gumi is not rooted in personal differences but in what he described as a matter of principle.

According to him, accountability should apply equally to everyone, and no one should be shielded from criticism when their actions or words raise public concern.
He added that advocating for fairness and justice must not be selective, noting that societies function best when the same standards are applied across the board.
Observers say debates involving public figures often reflect broader national concerns about security, governance, and the role of religious and community leaders in shaping public opinion.

In Nigeria, where insecurity remains a major challenge in several regions, statements by influential personalities frequently attract widespread attention and reaction.
Analysts also note that public discourse around insecurity has become increasingly sensitive, with many Nigerians calling for unity, responsible communication, and constructive engagement to reduce tensions and prevent further divisions along ethnic or religious lines.
Dokubo concluded his remarks by urging Nigerians, especially those in positions of authority, to reject any form of support for actions that threaten lives or destabilize communities.
