- VeryDarkMan has sparked controversy regarding the 2027 presidential election.
- In a viral video, he claims President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is politically unbeatable.
- VDM asserts that Tinubu is intellectually superior to all current candidates, including former President Olusegun Obasanjo.

Nigerian activist and social media personality, VeryDarkMan (VDM), has ignited controversy with his blunt assessment of the 2027 presidential election landscape.
In a viral video, the outspoken influencer declared that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is politically unbeatable and intellectually ahead of all current contenders, including former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
VDM dismissed the chances of Peter Obi of the Labour Party and Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), stating they lack the intensity and determination required to challenge the incumbent.
He said:
“Tinubu is smart, but you people underestimate him, and that is the problem. The other parties are not desperate enough. They can’t risk it all. As a matter of fact, President Bola Tinubu is the greatest politician in this country. Forget it, even over Obasanjo. That Jagaban they call him don’t play.”
Although he stressed that his comments were not a show of support for Tinubu, VDM urged Nigerians to approach politics with a more strategic mindset.
“This is not support for him, but the best way to beat an enemy is to understand and acknowledge his strength. Most of his opponents won’t admit he’s smart. But he is. That’s why they’ll keep losing.”
He went on to suggest that Atiku and Obi take a break from presidential ambitions, implying that 2031 might offer a better though still uncertain chance.
“Peter Obi and Atiku, just go and rest. Maybe come back in 2031, and even that one no sure.”

@BlareGafar:“Sometimes truth will overcome your sentiments against Jagaban.”
@NeverAgainNG:“Tinubu isn’t smart. Nigerians just aren’t desperate enough for real change. Blame yourselves.”
@OlaOluta:”He spoke the truth but trust those guys, they’ll come for him for telling them facts.”
@StevenAjakaiye:”@vdmempire someone with moral standards and intellectual integrity is called smart and not someone with a dubious complicated victory. What a compromised Ratel King! You have not been as active as before, they must have bought you over. Enjoy the show.”
@obinna_ugo60837:”The reason it looks like smartness is because we just have selfish and greedy elite. It is easy to work your way around them because of greed.
@GoldAckings”That’s why most time his action looks like a distraction from the real challenge in the country. I don’t rate him, nor do I follow him.”
@Handywilly1:”VDM, just watch ur movements in the darkness, beware of where to eat and drink, bcos those people are reckless mobs and serial killers to anyone who doesn’t follow their hallucinations, will be declared as an enemy. I pray to God for your protection against their usurpation of evil”
