Controversial comedian Oluwaseyitan Aletile, better known by his stage name Seyi Law has revealed how his support for President Bola Tinubu affected his life.
He claims that during the 2023 election campaign, he lost over 200,000 followers as a result of his support for President Bola Tinubu.
In a recent guest appearance on The Honest Bunch Podcast, which is co-hosted by actor Chinedu Ani Emmanuel, also known as Nedu, Toun Cole, and Husband Material, he revealed this.
The comedian stated,
“I lost over 200,000 followers because of the election which for me, is not a problem. The most important thing is that whatever you do, try as much as possible to draw that you’re doing it from the right place. Whatever you do, are you sure that you are doing it from the right place? Is it fair to those concerned? If you’re not being fair, don’t do it.”
Furthermore, Tinubu, according to Seyi Law, turned Lagos into a modern entertainment hub.
“Tinubu probably made Lagos a conducive environment for entertainment to thrive today,” he said.
Recall that a Nigerian lawyer named Malcolm Omirhobo has lashed out at comedian Seyi Law for his public support of President Tinubu.
The lawyer reprimanded Seyi Law after he said that if another election is held tomorrow, he will still vote for Tinubu.
He compared Nigeria’s present economic difficulty to the Israelites’ Biblical desert experience, stating that he would rather accompany “a Moses through the wilderness to Canaan than eat meat and drink wine in slavery in Egypt at the expense of my children’s future.”
In a long tweet made under his X account hours ago, Seyi Law claimed, in part:
“While a lot of Nigerians kill the optimism of others with hate and urge for immediate gratification, it is sad that our government agencies are not communicating government agendas, efforts, and actions effectively”.
“I am not one to judge anyone for their anger towards the government. After all, they were voted to serve the people. I am maybe only privileged to be better informed.
“I know everything doesn’t rest at the centre, and I should be able to make demands from the state government. Your allocations have increased, and to take steps towards a better transportation system not to talk of subsidising it for your citizens is a mountain you’re finding hard to climb. The state governors are absolutely shameless.”
Reacting, the lawyer referred to him as an emergency comedian who doesn’t have a functioning brain.
He wrote:
“Emergency comedian, Seyi Law or what do you call yourself? I am sure that the hunger and hardship in Nigeria have shut down your brain. If not why do you want to spend 40 years with Moses in the wilderness on foot when you can make the journey by air in 1 hour, 45mins from Egypt to Israel? I pity you and the future of your children .@SeyilawComedy”.
