Popular Nigerian social commentator Verydarkman (VDM) has ignited a fresh political conversation after claiming to have discovered alleged campaign flyers for Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu, in Morocco. The incident occurred during the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament.
VDM's Viral Video Exposes Alleged Campaign Material
In a video that quickly went viral on social media, Verydarkman filmed himself walking into a bar or similar establishment in Morocco. The footage, shared on December 30, 2025, captures his moment of surprise upon seeing promotional materials featuring Seyi Tinubu's face.
While the exact contents of the flyers are not shown, VDM's audio commentary reveals his shock. He is heard saying, "You carry this campaign seriously… From Morocco… 2027. You are desperate for real, though." His remarks directly link the materials to the upcoming 2027 Nigerian general elections.
VDM further contrasted the flashy nature of the alleged overseas campaign with domestic issues in Nigeria, adding, "Like your papa be president… But the country where light no dey. No hard feelings though. Shout out to you."
Netizens React to the Political Revelation
The video has triggered widespread reactions online, with many users praising VDM for his vigilance and questioning the implications of such early campaign activities abroad. Comments compiled from social media reflect a mix of criticism, humor, and concern.
One user, chukwukaimmanuel, suggested, "Them won rig the election from Morocco." Another, iam_jabmayor, expressed bewilderment: "So we don carry campaign reach Morocco ?? it is well with Nigeria." The user the_oracle__ predicted, "The election go hot."
These reactions highlight public curiosity and skepticism about political strategies being deployed years ahead of the scheduled polls.
Context and Related Controversies
This incident is not Verydarkman's first foray into controversial exposures. Prior to this, the social media critic was involved in amplifying allegations against popular Pastor Chris Okafor.
In late December 2025, VDM shared audio from a woman claiming to be the cleric's daughter, Chidera Precious Okafor, who made disturbing claims about her past in his household. This followed an earlier video interview with another alleged daughter, Chi Okafor, who presented her birth certificate.
Meanwhile, Pastor Okafor had shared a prophecy video offering financial support to church members, amidst his ongoing controversy with actress Doris Ogala.
The discovery of Seyi Tinubu's alleged campaign materials in Morocco, far from the Nigerian political arena, raises significant questions. It points to the increasingly international dimension of Nigerian political campaigning and the early start of electioneering activities. As netizens continue to dissect VDM's findings, the focus remains on what this means for the transparency and conduct of the 2027 electoral process.
