VeryDarkMan reacts as Edo governor warns Obi
The social media critic expressed concerns for Obi about what he described as a growing pattern ahead of the 2027 election.
VeryDarkMan noted that Governor Okpebholo’s warning marked the second time Obi was cautioned by an All Progressives Congress (APC)-led state. The first was from Benue State Governor Hyacinth Alia.

Apologising on behalf of the people of Edo State, VeryDarkMan claimed there was a deliberate attack on Obi from the governors of the states he won in the 2023 general elections.
“On behalf of Edo people, I would like to apologise to Nigerians and Peter Obi for what Edo State governor said in this video. The governor is preaching hate and we are not like that in Edo State. This is a pattern, they are turning their governors in states Obi won in 2023 to start attacking him deliberately,” VeryDarkMan said in part.

UC_Emeliem commented:
“I agree with Verydarkman on this; Nigerians need to stand against it. If they can openly and publicly issue a life threat to Mr. Peter Obi, imagine what they are doing to other people who have no influence or anyone to speak for them. The thugs we allowed into the corridors of power will destroy our democracy. Speak up, Nigerians.”
