Verydarkman Accuses Omoyele Sowore of Political Manipulation, Demands Transparency on Funding and Past Roles
Popular social media personality Verydarkman has once again stirred controversy by calling out activist and former presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore, urging him to address serious allegations about his past political involvement and sources of funding.
In a strongly worded statement, Verydarkman challenged Sowore to explain to younger Nigerians the role he allegedly played in the political shift that led to the defeat of former President Goodluck Jonathan and the rise of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He further alleged that Sowore was sponsored and backed by APC interests during that period, accusing him of deliberately portraying Jonathan’s administration in a negative light to influence public perception. According to Verydarkman, Nigerians deserve to know the truth about whether Sowore had longstanding ties with the ruling party.
The critic also raised questions about the funding of Sowore’s activism, particularly his protest movements. He alleged that protest campaigns in Nigeria may have become a “business model,” calling on Sowore to disclose how much he receives in donations and how those funds are utilized.
Verydarkman claimed that many Nigerians, especially the younger generation, have been led to believe that activism is purely altruistic, insisting that full transparency is necessary to build trust and accountability in the civic space.
These fresh allegations have sparked heated debates online, with supporters and critics of Sowore divided over the claims. While some demand answers and greater openness, others have dismissed the accusations as baseless and politically motivated.
As of now, Omoyele Sowore has not publicly responded to the latest remarks. The situation continues to generate reactions across Nigeria’s political and social landscape, highlighting ongoing tensions between activism, politics, and public perception.
