Social media activist VeryDarkMan (VDM) has challenged Benue State youths to channel the same energy they displayed in blocking Peter Obi’s convoy toward confronting bandits and terrorists terrorizing their communities.
In a video posted on X on Friday, VDM expressed disappointment over the incident, saying the youths were misdirecting their efforts.
He noted that while some residents of the state have long suffered from insecurity and political neglect, where leaders exploit the area for influence but fail to protect citizens from recurring attacks the recent mobilization showed the youths are capable of organizing in large numbers.
“At least now we know that Benue State youths can mobilize themselves and chase someone out or chase people out,” VDM said.
“So it’s very good that they can come out in numbers to chase people out, so that tomorrow when bandits or terrorists attack, they can use the same energy to chase them.“I was really disappointed in Benue State youths.
Not all of them but the crowd came out to prevent Peter Obi from entering the state.“Now, Benue State youths, after what they’ve gone through, they will still let themselves be used as political tools and instruments. It’s so sad.”
The remarks come days after Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), was blocked by youths while attempting to visit communities affected by previous attacks in the state.
