VeryDarkMan Declares Readiness to Join Politics at Oluwo’s palace

Social media commentator and the President of Ratel Movement, Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as Verydarkman (VDM), Wednesday,  visited the Oluwo of Iwoland, Oba Abdulrosheed Akanbi in his palace in Iwo, Osun state.

VDM was welcomed by members of the Ratel Movement from different states who came to identify with their leader.

Speaking after the meeting, VDM disclosed his readiness to participate in active politics.

He commended President Bola Tinubu for granting full local government autonomy to support grassroots development.

He urged Tinubu to ensure full implementation of the autonomy, particularly for the distribution of local government “dividends” and benefits.

VDM also encouraged citizens to increase their oversight monitoring and criticisms of local government authorities, saying people should ask more questions from those managing local governments, similar to how they do for federal and state governments.

“This is my first time in Osun State. I have listened to the king, the Oluwo of Iwoland, Oba Abdulrosheed Adewale Akanbi, requesting my movement to join active politics.

“In our recent meetings, politics has formed part of our discussions. We are working and planning on this. At appropriate time very soon, we will support the most trusted ones among us. We will start from the local government level. I have made contact because there is a way we do our things.

“One thing I commend President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for was the granting of local government autonomy to our local government even though some states are frustrating it. I am happy that Oluwo of Iwoland has said the autonomy granted by the President is working in Osun State.
