Nigerian social media critic Vincent Martins Otse, aka VDM, has shared his thoughts concerning David Adeleke and Pascal Okechukwu’s visit to Aso Rock.
It will be recalled that Davido, Ubi Franklin, Cubana CP, and others went on a visit to Abuja, where they met President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his vice, Kashim Shettima.
The video quickly went viral, triggering reactions from all corners of social media. While this may have seemed like a pleasant visit, many have contrary opinions.
This was especially because a video of Cubana CP kneeling before Vice President Shettima made the rounds online.
Speaking about the development, VDM mentioned that he has no issues with their visit to the presidency. He affirmed that everyone is entitled to have their preferred candidate.
However, he noted that what would unsettle him is if any of them use their platforms to campaign for politicians come 2027.
He stated that the masses should be given the opportunity to decide on their own, rather than being influenced by a celebrity. VDM’s take on the matter has now gone viral, igniting comments from social media users.
Reactions as VDM react to Davido, CP's visit:
@Dr_Pharouk said: "I get his point, but the truth is, you can’t tell people not to campaign for their favorite - it’s all part of the election process. As for saying you'll 'come for them,' let’s be realistic, please. Nigerians are not babies. At the end of the day, all we want is good governance."
