Activist Verydarkman has explained why he did not initially comment on a video showing youths in Benue State chasing NDC presidential candidate Peter Obi away during a campaign visit.
Verydarkman said he was “very happy” to see the youths mobilise against Obi, but later expressed disappointment that such a large crowd could be mobilised for political purposes despite the security challenges facing the state.
He sarcastically suggested that the ability of the youths to mobilise in large numbers could prove useful in confronting bandits.
Meanwhile, Nigerian singer Davido reacted to the video by reposting it on Instagram.
His words …
“Someone commented on my post yesterday and said Peter Obi was chased out of Benue by Benue state youth and I seem to not say anything about it. First things first I saw the video where Peter Obi went to Benue state to campaign and a large crowd of youths mobilised themselves and chased Peter Obi away.
I was very happy that Peter Obi was chased away. I am very happy the were able to do that. At least now we know that they can come out in numbers to chase people out. So that tomorrow now when bandit attack we get squad wey Sabi chase people.
I saw that thing and I was really really disappointed in Benue state youths. That crowd that came out. It was heartbreaking. After all they’ve gone through, they still let themselves to be used as political tools. That’s why I didn’t bother myself to speak because it is heartbreaking….”
