Social media activist Martins Vincent Otse, better known as Verydarkman (VDM), has reacted to the recent circulation of a presidential poster featuring him as one of the candidates for the 2027 elections.

In a video, the controversial personality laughed at the idea and expressed gratitude to those who had so much confidence in him.

However, he pointed out that several factors, including money, would determine who wins the election, noting that people would vote for those willing to share money.

VDM criticized the lack of patriotism among Nigerians, claiming that many would forget their struggles once they see money.

He warned that this mentality is harmful and that until people are emancipated from it, nothing would change in Nigeria.

The activist also mentioned that Nigerian celebrities could have a significant influence on the election, as their fans tend to follow their ideologies and support the politicians they campaign for.

Regarding the presidential poster, VDM clarified that he was not interested in contesting the election, jokingly asking where he would get the money to run, as people tend to vote based on financial incentives.

VDM also acknowledged his weaknesses, stating that he has a character flaw and easily gets angry over trivial matters.

He concluded by saying that the right person to lead Nigeria would emerge when the people are truly ready, and reiterated that he would not campaign for any politician. This comes a few days after VDM expressed his pain online, explaining his absence from the social media space.

In his video, the TikToker noted that he had been having a few days of sleepless nights because of the killing in Benue state and other parts of the country.

He questioned the government on the best way to put an end to the constant killing all over Nigeria.

In his part of his words: "As much as I appreciate the confidence people have in me. I am not interested. Money picks leaders in Nigeria. Until people are meancipated form that ideaology, Nigerian will not move forward."
