COMEDIAN and actor Lawrence Oluwaseyitan Aletile, popularly known as Seyi Law, has suffered a backlash from Nigerians over his call for support for President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
Seyi Law, a vocal supporter of Tinubu, in a solemn call on his verified X handle, urged Nigerians to support the Tinubu-led administration, noting that “things would get better.”
Making, an allusion to the story of Moses in the Holy Bible, Seyi Law noted that, “I would rather stay with 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.”
The Joker, who likened Tinubu to the Biblical Moses, noted that he would rather ”we reset, rebuild, and sustain our future than live on a better now by borrowing our future. I want to see certain people-driven and engaging policies in the agriculture, power, and health sectors. I am hopeful.”
Pledging his unwavering support for the president, Seyi Law noted that despite the backlashes aimed at Tinubu, ”if another election were held tomorrow, I would still vote for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.”
Seyi Law’s statement on X reads, “I would rather stay with Moses through the wilderness to Canaan than eat meat and drink wine in slavery in Egypt at the expense of my children’s future.
”While a lot of Nigerians kill the optimism of others with hate and the 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 center, 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 mention subsidizing it for your citizens, is a mountain you’re finding hard to climb. The state governors are shameless.
”It is easy for any government at the center to please the multitude by reverting to full subsidies on fuel and exchange rates, but I would rather we reset, rebuild, and sustain our future than live on a better now by borrowing our future.
”I want to see certain people-driven and engaging policies in the agriculture, power, and health sectors. I am hopeful.
”I will criticize constructively and condemn unworthy acts. To those still cursing in my mentions, if another election were held tomorrow, I would still vote for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.”
Seyi Law’s statement, which did not go down well with a cross section of Nigerians, had the renowned comedian “dragged” to filth.
An X user with the user name Naira Exchanger noted that while the comedian drums in support for Tinubu, Seyi Law’s family stays outside the shores of the country.
”His family is safe from kidnappers in the UK. His family has constant electricity. His family has access to free healthcare. His family benefits from free education up to the GCSE level.
“His family enjoys discounted public transportation. His family lives without fear of armed robberies at night. His family can afford holidays abroad.
”No wonder he will vote for Tinubu again, as he doesn’t seem to care for your family. Only a fool would listen to this selfish individual,” he noted.
