Popular social media critic and influencer, Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, has reacted angrily to the trending AI-generated video allegedly linked to him, blasting presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga and accusing the government of ignoring worsening insecurity.

 

 

UGAMATV recalls that the comment comes amid a vow by the Presidency on Wednesday to prosecute Nigerian social media critic Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VDM, for allegedly sharing a fake audio clip of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

 

An X user, @Pious_minister, shared a post alleging that an AI-generated audio of the President was used in one of VDM’s videos.

 

In the viral audio, a voice mimicking Tinubu allegedly claimed that insecurity in Nigeria would continue because Nigerians did not vote for him during the 2023 presidential election.

 

Reacting to this via a video posted on his social media page, VeryDarkMan described Onanuga as “stupid” and “daft,” insisting he would not defend the controversial AI clip.

 

The activist questioned why the Presidency had remained silent over the recent abduction of teachers and students in Oyo State, alleging that one of the kidnapped teachers had been beheaded while the victims remain in captivity on Children’s Day.

 

“President spokesman Bayo, you are a very stupid old man. I’m not trying to insult you, but look at the meaning of stupid. That’s what you represent. That is who you are.

 

“I swear to God, you are so daft, and this is the reason why I said President Bola Ahmed Tinubu should not come back in 2027 because all the people that operate under him don’t use their brains.

 

“You are so stupid. I know say una don get me for mind and think say part of an agenda. You see this audio, I will not defend it. You no dey shame.

 

“Now you can talk. Bandits went into a school in Oyo State, they carried three teachers, one man, two women, they carried students. One of the teachers was backing an infant child. Few days later, there was a report that one of the teachers was beheaded. Bayo Onanuga, where is your comment on that?

 

“As I speak to you today, it is Children’s Day. Those children are still in an unknown location. I want to see wetin una wan do. It’s only stupid people that will believe that video.”
