Social media personality Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, has said Nigeria could improve by 70 per cent if President Bola Tinubu is voted out of office in the 2027 general elections.
Otse made the assertion in a post on X on Friday while urging Nigerian youths to obtain their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) and actively participate in the electoral process.
“If we can collectively kick Tinubu out of power, Nigeria will do better by 70 per cent. It means that whoever comes into power afterwards will know that Nigerians can remove them if they fail to listen to the people,” he said.
He described the 2027 election as an important opportunity for Nigerians to demand accountability from their leaders, insisting that any elected official who fails to address the concerns of the people should be voted out.
The social media personality also challenged young Nigerians who frequently criticise the government on social media to translate their dissatisfaction into electoral participation.
“About 80 per cent of people using social media do not even have voter cards. All they do is talk online. This is the time to get your voter cards and prepare to vote,” he said.
Otse dismissed the belief that votes do not count, arguing that the efforts politicians make to secure the support of celebrities, musicians and social media influencers demonstrate the importance they attach to elections.
“If voting is not important, politicians will not spend so much money on campaigns. They will not look for celebrities, musicians and influencers to join their parties and campaign for them. It is because votes count,” he added.
He further urged Nigerians to use their votes to hold governors and local government chairmen accountable, stressing that political accountability should extend beyond the presidency.
Otse also expressed concern over the economic difficulties confronting ordinary Nigerians, particularly the rising cost of food and the challenges facing farmers.
He recalled a period when eggs were relatively affordable for low-income households and served as one of the few accessible sources of protein for many families.
On insecurity, he criticised the government’s response to attacks, abductions and killings across parts of the country.
He called on young Nigerians to make the 2027 election record the highest voter turnout in the country’s history.
“2027, Nigerian youths, listen to me. This is the most important time in Nigeria’s history. We must record the highest voter turnout ever in this country,” he said.
He also cautioned voters against accepting food items or money from politicians in exchange for their votes, citing the dangers posed by insecurity.
“Don’t collect a bag of rice or ₦5,000 from politicians. Boko Haram will not collect ₦5,000 from you; they will demand millions and, after collecting the money, still kill you and post it on social media. Don’t be a joker in 2027,” he said.
