Martins Vincent Otse, widely recognised as VeryDarkMan (VDM), a Nigerian social media activist, has thrown his weight behind Seyi Tinubu for the forthcoming 2027 Lagos governorship election.
The controversial activist claimed on his Instagram page on Friday that Seyi Tinubu is “a bridge to make Nigeria work.”
VDM argued that if Seyi is elected governor, he will open the door for more young people to become active in politics.
Although VDM noted that he typically does not engage in politics, he explained that he would make an exception for Seyi Tinubu if he decides to run for the 2027 upcoming governorship election.
“For the past few months they have been playing around with the topic of Seyi Tinubu possibly becoming the governor of Lagos state in 2027,” he said.
“Although Seyi Tinubu has not acknowledged if he wants to campaign to be the next governor if Seyi Tinubu decides to run for governorship I’m going to campaign for him 100 percent.
“I don’t do politics but I’ll do politics because of Seyi Tinubu. Based on my calculation, Seyi Tinubu is a bridge to get something that I want, something that I believe will make Nigeria work.
“I have been studying Seyi Tinubu’s pattern and he looks like someone who has his father’s type of political mentality.
“This is my opinion, if Seyi Tinubu becomes the governor he will want to act like his father and strategically plant people that he can control and that is how young people will come into the picture.
“He cannot put an old man in control, he will start looking for young people. My interest is that through this old men will be removed from power and power will enter the hands of the youths.”
As of now, Seyi Tinubu has not made any official statements regarding his intentions for the 2027 governorship race in Lagos.
