VeryDarkMan has launched a scathing critique of the All Progressives Congress (APC), declaring that the party has "no right whatsoever" to campaign for re-election. In a viral video, the social media activist argued that governance—not political theatrics—should determine public support. He stressed that the 2023–2027 term should be used to deliver tangible results, not lay early groundwork for the next election cycle. "You have first four years… for the people to beg you to run, not for you to come back and campaign," he said. He pointed to Abia State Governor Alex Otti as a model of performance-driven leadership, noting how citizens are urging him to seek re-election. Insecurity emerged as VeryDarkMan's central concern, with claims that Boko Haram and other armed groups have seized vast farmlands, preventing farmers from working. "Farmers cannot go to their farms. Boko Haram have taken almost everywhere in Nigeria," he stated. He condemned the ruling party for prioritising campaign spending over solving urgent national issues, accusing influencers of being paid to spread misinformation. He warned Nigerians against accepting vote-buying incentives, urging them to make thoughtful electoral choices. "Nigerians… this greed to just collect sharp, sharp," he cautioned.
VeryDarkMan's outburst taps into a growing public fatigue with political performance art over substance, a sentiment familiar to Nigerians who've seen election promises fade like old billboards. While his delivery is raw, the core argument—that leaders should earn re-election through delivery, not noise—echoes what many young voters and Afrobeats artists have been chanting in songs and skits: show us the results, not the rallies.
