VDM Lashes Out at Reno Omokri for Visiting Tinubu, Says He’s Shameless, Lacks Integrity
Social media activist and influencer, Martin Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, has hit out at former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan after he posted a picture of his visit to President Bola Tinubu on October 1, which was Nigeria’s Independence Day.
Omokri had posted the picture on social media with the caption “Spending Independence Day with President Tinubu at the Presidential Villa. May God bless Nigeria,” which led to a barrage of comments from many Nigerians who labelled him a sellout and bootlicker.
Also lending his voice to the condemnation, VDM in an Instagram video, criticized Omokri for visiting Tinubu whom he had in the past, insulted and called several derogatory names.
To back up his criticism, VeryDarkMan played an old video of Omokri leading a protest against Tinubu during his visit to the Chatham House in the UK during the 2023 presidential campaign.
In the Instagram video, VeryDarkMan, said:
“Reno Omokri, what are you doing with someone you once called a drug lord? Do you want to learn how to sell drugs? I’m just curious, o; it’s none of my business!
“You have no integrity, I know the people that you begged that you want to meet Tinubu. I know & spoke with them, is that why U where attacking Obi. You can clearly see that you lack integrity.
“By the way, I won’t pretend I didn’t know that you begged a lot of people to help you meet Tinubu. I saw many people you pleaded with to arrange a meeting. In 2023, you were campaigning for Atiku. I know politics is a dirty game, but at least have some integrity.”
