Nigerian Comedian, Seyi Law has penned an open letter to Nigerians over this continued support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
In a lengthy post on his X page, Seyi Law clarified that his intention was not to belittle the challenges facing Nigeria and emphasized his full comprehension of the ongoing hardships in the country. Additionally, he disclosed that his support for a different candidate was not driven by malice towards anyone but rather by a genuine belief that the said candidate could lead to a better Nigeria.
He further expressed that he feels optimistic that things will get better and that Nigerians should not abandon the government that they voted for. He also stated that while he was not begging Nigerians to stop the abuse, he wanted them to know that he was not against them but for them. Seyi Law however disclosed that he continues to stand by his choice.
Seyi Law also revealed that he is presently in Abuja engaging in discussions with various government officials because he feels committed to the government he voted into power and cannot simply disengage.
He wrote;
“My fellow Nigerians, I laugh not at your pains and I know there’s a lot of hardship right now. The fact that I supported a different candidate from you isn’t to spite you, but out of my belief that my candidate will achieve a better Nigeria. I am here with you in Nigeria, and I am not alien to your angers, which is justified. I swear I truly feel your pain, but I am optimistic.
“I can’t abandon a government that I voted for. I can only join them to bring relief to Nigerians. I am currently in Abuja, and I am talking with some people in the government. My efforts might not mean much to you now, but I am praying it brings hope to your hearts again.
“The cost of governance will reduce, minimum wage will increase, and food affordability will improve. I supported ASIWAJU BOLA AHMED TINUBU, not against you, but for YOU. I am not begging you to stop the abuse. I made my choice, and I stand by it. We shall overcome as a people and come out a GREATER NATION. SEYILAW.”
