Activist accuses Tinubu of election manipulation in Osun State governorship race
VeryDarkMan criticizes President Tinubu for sending APC officials to Osun, claiming it undermines election credibility.

Nigerian social media activist VeryDarkMan has publicly criticized President Bola Tinubu for allegedly attempting to manipulate the ongoing governorship election in Osun State. He expressed his concerns over the presence of numerous All Progressives Congress (APC) governors and senators in the state, suggesting their involvement threatens the integrity of the electoral process.
In a video posted on Instagram, VeryDarkMan called on Tinubu to allow the citizens of Osun to determine their future through a fair election. He stated, "Sending your APC governors and senators to Osun shows the election won't be credible and fair." This statement reflects a growing sentiment among some Nigerians who fear that political interference could compromise the election's outcome.
The activist's remarks come as Osun State prepares for a critical election that could shape its political landscape. VeryDarkMan argued that the presence of these APC officials is indicative of a strategy to intimidate voters and manipulate results. He emphasized the importance of a transparent electoral process, urging Tinubu to refrain from exerting undue influence over the election.
In his message, VeryDarkMan highlighted the historical context of political manipulation in Nigeria, suggesting that past actions have led to distrust in the electoral system. He noted, "If anything happens to you today, there will be a lot of problems even for your family," implying that the political climate could lead to unrest if the election is perceived as rigged.
The activist's call for a free and fair election resonates with many who are advocating for democratic principles in Nigeria. As the election day unfolds, the scrutiny of political figures and their actions will likely intensify, with citizens keenly observing the developments in Osun State.
VeryDarkMan's comments have sparked discussions on social media, with many users echoing his sentiments about the need for electoral integrity. The upcoming election is not just a local affair; it is seen as a litmus test for Nigeria's democratic processes, especially in light of previous allegations of electoral malpractice.
As the situation develops, the focus remains on how the electoral commission and security agencies will manage the election, ensuring that it is conducted in an environment free from intimidation and coercion. The outcome of the Osun governorship election may have significant implications for the APC and the broader political landscape in Nigeria.
