Nigerian comedian and actor Seyi Law voiced his support for Tinubu in early February via an Instagram post, insisting that Nigerians should check his record as the former governor of Lagos State and vote him ahead of Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar.

Seyi Law said:

“We can pretend, refuse to accept it, and even deny it, but what Tinubu did to rebuild Lagos after the military era can never be overstated. You can use other metrics I don’t know to judge him, but to deny his works in Lagos as governor and the continuity is plain hatred. If I was paid to campaign for ASIWAJU BOLA AHMED TINUBU, let God judge me. I have always maintained my stance that I will never receive money to campaign for any politician and that I have always kept. This coming election, BAT is my candidate.”

The comedian also came under heavy criticism online for backing Tinubu, but he has maintained his stand.
