Social commentator and political aide, Ossai Ovie Success, has called on activist and social media personality Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), to issue a public apology to renowned cleric Enoch Adeboye over comments he made concerning the pastor. �
The controversy began after VeryDarkMan criticised Pastor Adeboye’s remarks on Nigeria’s security challenges and President Bola Tinubu’s efforts to address insecurity. VDM accused the cleric of not being as outspoken against the current administration as he had been with previous governments and described his stance as biased.
Reacting to the comments, Ossai Success condemned VDM’s choice of words, insisting that Pastor Adeboye deserves respect because of his age, spiritual leadership, and contributions to society. He maintained that disagreeing with the cleric’s opinions does not justify what he described as disrespectful remarks and urged the activist to publicly retract his statements and apologise.
The exchange has sparked widespread reactions online, with supporters of both figures debating the limits of criticism, respect for religious leaders, and the role of public figures in commenting on national issues.
