Bwala made the comment while describing Obi as a politician displaced within his own party
The president's aide said this on Channels Television’s Politics Today, while criticising Obi’s stance on Tinubu not visiting Yelewata in Guma Local Government Area of Benue state following the killings in the area.
According to Bwala: “VeryDarkMan has more empathy than Peter Obi, he is not a politician but he was in Benue. Why does he have to wait until he becomes president before he gets to Benue? Empathy is personal."

DanielOkani1 commented:
"At first, I wanted to ignore it but let me comment. It is quite shameful that Daniel Bwala, could bring himself too low, by comparing Peter and VDM when it comes to empathy. But I liked Seun Okin, he asked, why didn't the president visit Benue? No reasonable response."
TjJahskid commented:
"VeryDarkMan’s reply “I don’t know why he needed to compare me to Peter Obi” — shows maturity and humility. Rather than bask in the flattery, he recognized the awkwardness and possible political intent behind such a comparison. His response helps to de-escalate tension."

Gbolahan2711 commented:
"You misunderstood the governor. He did not prevent Peter Obi from coming into Benue state. The Governor said, Peter will not be allowed to go into the IDP camp in Benue which directly under his exclusive care. That is simple. Peter can enter Benue as he likes."
VDM predicts failure of Obi, Atiku's coalition
Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that VDM reacted to the newly opposition coalition ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The social media critic warned that the alliance featuring Peter Obi, Atiku Abubakar, and other opposition figures is headed for a “woeful failure.”
In a video posted on his social media platform on Friday, July 4, 2025, VDM didn’t mince words, saying Nigerians should not be deceived by the recent coalition hype, because history is about to repeat itself.
