BREAKING: Lawyer of VeryDarkMan Shares What He Observed About Tinubu After Online Personality’s Arrest
Deji Adeyanju, the lawyer representing online personality VeryDarkMan has voiced concerns regarding the trajectory of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration in the wake of his client’s recent arrest.
Speaking on the matter, the lawyer highlighted what he perceived as a growing pattern of actions against activists, artists, and celebrities, raising concerns about restrictions on freedom of expression and dissent.
According to his statement, he suggested that such actions might discourage individuals from challenging government policies in the future.
In his words:
“Tinubu is coming for everyone one by one, activists, artists, celebrities, etc but clowns who love praising politicians every 4yrs still think it all games and jokes. By the time he is done, nobody will have the guts to challenge him or his government. He might even attempt a 3rd term.”
The comments have sparked discussions among political analysts and social commentators, with varying perspectives emerging on the government’s approach to activism and public criticism.
While some argue that the administration is taking steps to maintain order and accountability, others fear that the trend could lead to suppression of opposing voices.
At the time of reporting, the government has not issued an official statement in response to these concerns.
The situation remains a topic of debate across media platforms, with discussions continuing on the broader implications for democratic engagement and civic participation in Nigeria.
