- Northern Nigerian Youths President, Ambassador Abdul DanBature, has issued a 48-hour ultimatum to social media activist Verydarkman, demanding an apology from the Sultan of Sokoto.
- The Sultan criticized social media as a “terrorist organization” and called for the government to take decisive action against it.
Ambassador Abdul DanBature, the President of Northern Nigerian Youths, has given social media activist Verydarkman a 48-hour ultimatum to apologize to the Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammadu Sa’ad Abubakar, following comments made by the activist about the monarch.
The controversy began after the Sultan referred to social media as a “terrorist organisation” and urged the government to take stronger action against it.
In response to the Sultan’s statement, Verydarkman criticized the monarch, calling his comments “emotional” and arguing that social media has been used by many for positive causes. He expressed strong opposition to any plans to regulate or restrict its use, emphasizing the platform’s benefits.
DanBature, in a video message, condemned Verydarkman’s reaction, demanding that he issue an immediate retraction and apology for his remarks.
In his words:
“My name is Ambassador Abdul DanBature, the President of Northern Nigerian Youths. I want to quickly call on the attention of Verydarkman based on the comment he made against our father, our royal leader, the Sultan of Sokoto. We want Verydarkman to quickly withdraw his statement and apologize to the Sultan of Sokoto, and we the Northern Nigerians are giving Verydarkman 48 hours for him to do that. Thank you.”
