The comedian claimed that he simply openly stated that Tinubu was his preferred candidate and did not push people to vote for him.
Newsmen writes that Seyi Law, who resides abroad, has come under criticism on social media following the deepening economic difficulties, with many youths calling him out for supporting the President Bola Tinubu-led Federal Government.
However, speaking in the latest episode of The Honest Bunch, the comic star said it was unjust for people to keep calling him out over the economic crunch, maintaining that he never urged Nigerians to vote for President Tinubu.
He said, “I never said ‘vote for Tinubu’. Go and check. I write the things that I know he did in Lagos, and I will put ‘Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is my candidate or is who I am voting for.’ I didn’t tell you to vote for him. And again, Seyi Law did not make the 8.9 million that voted for him. I am just a number among those numbers.
“Yes, do I have influence over some people? Maybe. I used my influence for what I believed in. And I believe that this person [Tinubu] is the person that would take us to that Nigeria that I want us to be.”
