APC Issues 7-Day Apology Deadline To VDM For Criticising Akpabio's Trip to Vatican For Pope's Burial

• The All Progressives Congress has issued an ultimatum to VeryDarkBlackMan following his statement about Godswill Akpabio
• Recall that the online critic had bashed the Senate president over his Vatican trip for Pope Francis' burial ceremony
• As his criticism went viral, the ruling party took action against the audacious personality, leading to various reactions online

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has taken a firm stance against social media influencer Martins Vincent Otse, aka VeryDarkMan, demanding that he apologise within seven days for his recent comments about Senate President Godswill Akpabio.

Recall that this stems from a viral video in which VeryDarkMan expressed his concerns about Akpabio's decision to travel to Rome to attend the Pope's funeral amidst the rising insecurity in Nigeria.

VeryDarkMan argued that the Senate president should prioritise visiting communities affected by violence in states such as Benue, Plateau, Kwara, Ogun, and Enugu, rather than attending an international event.

"Dee-One so many people will try to discourage you in the comment section, they will try to make you feel useless... please listen to them they are saying the truth."

@donald_olu said:

"Pardon me, but what exactly are you attempting to insinuate?You are merely a town crier, not a leader. How I wish you possessed the discernment to distinguish your left from your right — it would be most beneficial.It is perpetually about VDM with you. Do you not have a life of your own? Are you intellectually incapacitated? If VDM is truly not a good person, why not aspire to embody the change we all earnestly seek, instead of incessantly fixating on him?It is truly a pitiable situation for you."
