Lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, has reacted to calls by the Presidency for legal action against popular social critic, Martins Vincent Otse, known widely as VeryDarkMan (VDM).
The reaction follows a statement on X on Wednesday, May 27, by Bayo Onanuga, the Special Adviser to President Tinubu on Information and Strategy, who accused VDM of being the “conveyor and disseminator” of an audio clip about the president and called for the commentator to face the full weight of the law.
The footage appears to show VeryDarkMan (VDM) playing a purported audio recording of President Bola Tinubu, who allegedly declares a definitive intent to run in the 2027 presidential election regardless of public sentiment. The video also claims that the President urged opposition leader Peter Obi to withdraw from the upcoming race.
“This VDM needs to face the weight of the law for being the conveyor and disseminator of a fake audio of President Tinubu. This is a clear case of an egregious abuse of the social media platform,” Onanuga wrote in reaction to the footage
