Blessing Agbomhere, the South South Zonal Organising
Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has cautioned the social
media influencer, VeryDarkMan, against what he termed a “slanderous verbal
attack” on Godswill Akpabio, the senate president.
Agbomhere’s warning follows a three-minute viral video where
VeryDarkMan, born Martins Vincent Otse, criticised Akpabio for leading a
five-man federal government delegation to Pope Francis’s funeral at the
Vatican.
VeryDarkMan described the visit as “shameful” and suggested
that the senate president should have instead visited states in the country
affected by insecurity, such as Benue, Plateau, Kwara, Ogun, and Enugu.
In a statement on Monday, Agbomhere accused the influencer
of engaging in “blackmail, slander, and character assassination” under the
guise of activism.
He also issued a one-week ultimatum to VeryDarkMan to issue
an unreserved apology to Akpabio.
“This individual known as VeryDarkMan is now notorious for
blackmail, slander and character assassination while pretending to be an
advocate for the masses and social crusader,” the statement reads.
“The unwarranted verbal attack on the president of the
senate is yet another of such aimless, baseless, and uninformed diatribes”.
Agbomhere defended Akpabio’s trip, stating that the senate
president was duly nominated by President Bola Tinubu to represent Nigeria at
the funeral.
“Being a devout Catholic and family man with unblemished
character, President Tinubu saw in Akpabio a worthy ambassador of Nigeria to
such an event as the Pope’s funeral,” he said.
The APC chieftain urged Nigerians to disregard VeryDarkMan’s
“uninformed ranting” and assured that the current administration is actively
working to address the nation’s security challenges inherited from previous
administrations.
