Nigerian activist, Verydarkman, has addressed the recent comments made by Daniel Bwala, a presidential aide, who criticized Peter Obi for allegedly lacking empathy over his absence during the Benue crisis.
Recall that Bwala had earlier stated that Verydarkman showed more compassion than the Labour Party chieftain, accusing Obi of failing to visit victims of the crisis.
In response, Verydarkman posted a new video where he clarified that Obi had actually attempted to visit Benue in April 2025 but was reportedly denied access by the state’s governor.
“Mr Bwala you said Peter Obi was not there and lacks empathy. Let me break it down. I’m not trying to support Peter Obi here but in April 2025, Peter Obi was stopped from going into Benue state by the governor…since Peter Obi and him people start the ADC thing all of Una just dey restless. Wike go talk today, you you go talk tomorrow and them never even give am presidential ticket yet…”
The video has sparked a fresh wave of debate online as citizens react to the back-and-forth between government figures and opposition voices.
