In a recent Hip TV interview, comedian Seyi Law defended President Tinubu's administration amid a public backlash. Praising Tinubu’s governance and supporting the fuel subsidy removal, Seyi Law argued that Tinubu’s leadership surpasses that of former President Jonathan.
In a recent interview with Hip TV, Nigerian comedian Seyi Law sparked controversy with his outspoken defense of President Bola Tinubu, despite growing criticism over the nation’s economic hardship. During the interview, Seyi Law commented on Tinubu's leadership, expressing strong support for the President's decision to remove the fuel subsidy, a move that has led to significant public debate due to its impact on fuel prices and the cost of living.
Seyi Law, known for his consistent defense of Tinubu's administration, stated that he would have chosen Tinubu over former President Goodluck Jonathan, citing Tinubu’s achievements during his tenure as Governor of Lagos State. "Fuel subsidy should have been long gone," he said, arguing that the subsidy removal was necessary for Nigeria's economic growth. He went on to commend Tinubu’s governance style in Lagos, saying, "No Governor would have been able to lead Lagos state like Tinubu did."
The comedian's remarks have since drawn mixed reactions on social media. While some supporters praised him for voicing his opinion, others criticized him for ignoring the struggles many Nigerians are facing under the current administration. This isn’t the first time Seyi Law has defended Tinubu; his steadfast support has previously led to a backlash, with critics accusing him of being out of touch with the economic realities that many Nigerians face.
