Veteran Nigerian rapper Eedris Abdulkareem has claimed that Comedian and actor Lawrence Oluwaseyitan Aletile, known as Seyi Law, told him that his biggest mistake was supporting President Bola Tinubu.
He said the comedian apologised to the audience at a recent event he attended, and even denounced his support for Tinubu.
Speaking in the latest episode of The Honest Bunch Podcast, Abdulkareem said, “I was at an event yesterday and Seyi Law came up and said, ‘Abeg, make una no vex o! Everybody don curse me taya because I stand for Tinubu. I no dey im mandate again o!’
“I was like, ‘Seyi, how do you cope now?’ He said, ‘My brother, I messed up.’ He said no be say im collect anything. He said he made the biggest mistake.”
While Seyi Law is yet to react to Abdulkareem’s podcast comments, his claims are contrary to the comedian’s recent post on X where he urged Nigerians to be patient with President Tinubu and even declared that he would vote for the president again if another election comes up tomorrow.
Seyi Law came under harsh condemnations from tweeps following his public declaration of support for policies of President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
Through a message shared on his social media handle on Sunday, Seyi Law called on Nigerians to stand firmly behind Tinubu, expressing hope for progress.
Drawing parallels to the biblical narrative of Moses, Seyi Law emphasized his preference for enduring challenges under a visionary leader like Tinubu rather than opting for short-term comforts that may jeopardize the future.
Despite facing criticism directed at Tinubu, Seyi Law pledged steadfast support, stating his commitment to constructive criticism while advocating for sustained progress.
