Professor Mahmood Yakubu, the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), is facing a barrage of curses from displeased Nigerians who believe he rigged the 2023 presidential election results in favour of Bola Tinubu.
The Herald gathered that a group of dissatisfied Nigerians had designated February 25, 2024, a year after the presidential election, as a day to vent their frustrations by cursing Yakubu.
Expressing their anger on social media, they alleged that Yakubu Mahmood manipulated the votes to ensure Tinubu’s victory, contending that the rightful winner was Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP).
Dubbed as “National Prayer Day in Nigeria, with the theme ‘Cursed Be Mahmood Yakubu’,” social media users, took to social media to direct curses at the INEC Chairman.
An X user, Babatunde Gbadamosi, prayed for curses to haunt Yakubu’s life, linking his actions to the suffering experienced by Nigerians allegedly caused by Tinubu.
Curses were not only reserved for Yakubu but extended to what was referred to as “corrupt INEC staff”.
Gbadamosi rained curses on everyone involved, from corrupt directors and commissioners to polling officers and even security personnel who allegedly harassed Nigerians during the elections.
Today is National Prayer Day in Nigeria, and the theme is Cursed Be Mahmood Yakubu, professor and Chairman of @inecnigeria.
May every curse pronounced upon MAHMOOD YAKUBU'S head today operate in his life forever. May the money he took to rig the elections be a reproach unto him… pic.twitter.com/JkrUoXfiAY

Very appropriate supplication for Professor Mahmood Yakubu, Festus Okoye, Segun Agbájé and every @inecnigeria official that partook in defrauding Nigerians of their freely given mandate on the 25th of February, 2023. https://t.co/owZ6uSpJoz

Mahmood Yakubu,
I pray a special prayer for you tonight.
May the blessings of Allah depart from you.
You will never see Jannah.
You will look for the cure, & find none.
As you denied Nigerians their choice, May Allah deny you all your heart desires. pic.twitter.com/U3VNTZCEo6

Social media influencer Nefertiti prayed that Mahmood Yakubu be denied paradise for denying Nigerians their choice, wishing sickness and perpetual calamity upon him and his family.
Mahmood Yakubu!
May the sun fight you by day.
May the darkness of the night be against you.
May your sleep be chaotic.
May you wake up in sorrows.
May your ears never stop hearing terrible news.
May you live in loneliness.
May help be against you. pic.twitter.com/ZDv2Azsoqi

“For I solemnly swear”, says the Lord, “that Yakubu Mahmood & every INEC criminal staff will become a pile of ruins. You all will become an object of horror and ridicule, an example to be used in curses. To your 4th generation, they will lie in ruins forever” [Jer 49:13, adapted] pic.twitter.com/0fsi4jl4pZ

Never forget Lawrence Bayode, the Director of ICT at INEC. He is a pastor in RCCG as well.
Lawrence Boyode testified falsely before the PEPT, stating that only 31% of results had been uploaded before Mahmood Yakubu fraudulently declared Tinubu as the winner..
