Nigerian actor and comedian, Oluwaseyitan Aletile, professionally known as Seyi Law, has said despite the economic hardship in the country, he would still vote for President Bola Tinubu if a fresh election comes up tomorrow.
He likened the current economic hardship in Nigeria to the biblical wilderness experience of the Israelites, saying he 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”.
“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,” stated Seyilaw in a lengthy post uploaded lately on his X handle.
Instead of relying on the federal government for “everything,” he urged Nigerians to make demands of their state governments.
The comedian stated, “I would rather we reset, rebuild, and sustain our future than live on a better now by borrowing our future.” It is easy for any government at the center to appease the masses by going back to full subsidy on fuel and currency rates.
Seyi Law responded to those who were criticizing him for continuing to back Tinubu’s administration in the face of an extreme economic crisis by saying, “If another election were held tomorrow, I would still vote Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.”
