Dokubo highlighted that in Nigeria, religious identity can be highly sensitive, particularly for those in the public eye. He expressed that balancing faith with activism and political involvement requires resilience and dedication.
The activist urged that challenges should not deter people from practicing their faith. He stated that belief is a personal choice and should not lead to discrimination or exclusion.
In closing, Dokubo called for tolerance and mutual respect among Nigerians of various religions, asserting that peaceful coexistence relies on accepting each other’s beliefs and supporting freedom of faith.
