A few hours after the announcement, VDM took to his page to share a video where he condemned the SSA position, noting that the appointees were just caricatures and had no real impact.

The dark man said that it was a big problem because the government was using the position to make youths feel like they had power to effect any change meanwhile they were only being used for damage control because they could not speak against the government that had appointed them.

He said:

“This is a very big problem. I see a lot of youths that the government wants to bring into politics and they give them SSA. What is SSA? It is the most stupid position the government gives to the youths. And for some reason, these youths and these younger people always feel like the government has given them a position, senior special adviser. What are you advising? Have you ever sat down before with your governor to talk and he listens to you? They should bring out all the SSAs in this country, let them point out a project that they advised the governor to carry out. They give you people these posts to make youths feel like they want them to be part of the government. If they want you to be part of the government, they will give the youths a post that they would actually be the ones commanding some things. Let’s say they say local government chairman must be must be from the age of 25 to 30, if you exceed 30, you can’t be local government chairman. That’s when you know that the youths can be part of the politics and that’s how you know the younger people are ready to move this country forward. Any small thing, dem carry SSA give Mr Jollof, give Nkechi Blessing girlfriend, give Seyi Law, give Eniola Badmus and una go jubilate and feel as if una don dey close to these people.”

VDM also said:

“SSA is the most stupid post in the government system.”
