Nigerian comedian, Seyi Law has reacted to the trending video of him expressing regret for voting for President Tinubu at the general election.
Kemi Filani reported that Eedris Abdulkareem had claimed in an interview that Seyi Law told him he regrets supporting President Tinubu.
Refreshing your memory, Seyi Law was one of the few celebrities who was bold enough to rigorously campaign for the President during the General Election.
One year later, according to Eedris, Seyi regretted his decision as he noted how he had been insulted and cursed over his support for him and how he had stopped receiving money from people at his shows.
Eedris stated that the comedian made this known to me at an event, where they linked up and he also told him that he never received any money from Tinubu as he only supported him for the interest he had in his mandate.
Reacting to it, Seyi Law in a tweet, expressed his love for Eedris as he debunked the allegation.
Following this, a netizen brought out the video of him expressing his regret for supporting Tinubu at his recent show. In the video, Seyi Law re-echoed what Eedris said in the video as he expressed how tired he was standing on the mandate of Tinubu.
He further added that people don’t spray him money because he supported Tinubu and that Vice President, Kashim Shettima’s presence at the AFCON match made things hard for the Nigerian national team.
Reacting to the video, Seyi Law stood still on his words that he never made such a statement distancing himself from Tinubu. He questioned where exactly he expressed his regret for Tinubu as he questioned if one can’t differentiate between joke and reality.
“Thanks for posting this first. I have been looking for someone who recorded my performance. So where did I tell Eedris I made the biggest mistake? Is it that he thinks a joke is a reality?”, he tweeted.
This is coming just a day after Seyi Law had drummed up support for Tinubu, declaring that if another election was to be held tomorrow, he was still going to vote for Tinubu.
He also stated how he would rather stay with Moses through the wilderness than eat meat and drink wine in slavery in Egypt, hinting at the fact that Moses was Tinubu while Egypt was Peter Obi.
He further expressed that while a lot of Nigerians keep on killing the optimism of others with their hate and urge for gratification, he is better privileged because he is more informed than the rest of Nigerians.
Recall that following Tinubuâs victory in the election, Seyi Law had tendered an apology.
Seyi Law via his Instagram page apologized to all that he might have offended with his immense support for Bola Ahmed Tinubu (also known as Asiwaju).
He shared a disturbing message his wife received from a political extreme over his presidential choice.
The comedianâs wife had received a DM from a troll praying for his daughterâs death and wishing him and his family negativity.
