Martin Otse, aka VeryDarkMan, a prominent social media critic, has accused Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, of attempting to bully protesters by restricting them to the Moshood Abiola National Stadium.
He made this statement before police teargassed protesters at the Berger Roundabout in Abuja on Friday.
The #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protesters, who began their nationwide demonstration on Thursday, are demanding an end to hunger and bad governance.
VeryDarkMan emphasized that they had no need to go to the stadium, as they were not footballers.
He called on President Bola Tinubu to address the protesters directly.
VeryDarkMan also warned protesters against violence, stating that he would personally hand over anyone who caused harm to the police.
The protest has spread across the country, with demonstrators demanding action from the government to address the nation’s challenges.
He has gained a significant following online for his outspoken views on politics, governance, and social issues.
VeryDarkMan is known for his fearless and blunt critique of those in power, often using his platform to expose corruption and demand accountability.
With a strong presence on social media, VeryDarkMan has become a voice for many Nigerians who feel marginalized and oppressed.
VeryDarkMan’s activism extends beyond social media, as he has participated in protests and demonstrations, advocating for change and better governance.
