Popular social commentator and activist, Verydarkman, has publicly called out President Bola Ahmed Tinubu over what he describes as a betrayal of trust and abuse of power. In a fiery statement circulating on social media, Verydarkman expressed deep disappointment in the administration's failure to uphold the promises made to Nigerians, accusing the government of becoming the very thing it once stood against.
Verydarkman did not mince words as he directly blamed Tinubu for the worsening state of the nation. He questioned the president's leadership, saying that the ongoing protests and growing dissatisfaction across the country are proof of a government that has lost touch with its people.
“If President Tinubu had done well, Omoyele Sowore wouldn’t still be protesting for the betterment of Nigeria in 2025,” he said. “And now, people like Yelesho are on the streets protesting for his freedom. How is this different from the past we all fought against?”
His remarks come amid renewed protests and rising calls for accountability, justice, and better governance. Activists like Sowore, who has faced repeated arrests and clampdowns for his political stance, continue to be a symbol of resistance. Verydarkman believes that the current administration is no longer listening to the people but using power to silence dissent.
“The same system you fought, you have now become. It’s shameful,” he continued. “You called yourself a democrat, but your government is oppressing citizens more than ever.”
The statement has triggered widespread reactions, especially among youths and political observers. While some have applauded Verydarkman for speaking truth to power, others warn that such bold criticisms could attract state backlash, citing Nigeria’s tightening space for free speech.
Observers also note that the growing discontent reflects the struggle of many Nigerians dealing with economic hardship, insecurity, and perceived government inaction. Many are now drawing comparisons between Tinubu’s government and previous regimes, questioning whether real change has occurred or if history is simply repeating itself.
The presidency is yet to respond to the accusations as of the time of this report. However, with voices like Verydarkman’s gaining traction and the streets echoing similar frustrations, it is clear that the pressure on the Tinubu administration is mounting.
