Comedian Seyi Law has apparently withdrawn his support for Bola Tinubu, citing the economic hardships faced by Nigerians under his administration.
Citing the relentless social media attacks and personal embarrassment stemming from his support for Tinubu, Seyi Law expressed his inability to endure further.
Speaking at a Valentine’s Day event at Rosticks Bar in Lagos, he admitted to now advocating for citizens to refrain from steadfastly supporting Tinubu’s mandate.
Addressing a small audience at the bar, Seyi Law humorously remarked, “Na me shout pass o, on your mandate we shall stand, Na me dey tell person abeg, make una sit down.”
“Mandate dey make leg pain me o,” He added in a statement that suggests that the economic crisis worsened by Mr. Tinubu was taking a toll on him.

Despite his previous support for Tinubu, Seyi Law revealed that he had never received any financial assistance from him, despite enduring constant humiliation on his behalf. He jokingly contrasted this with a generous gesture from an unknown benefactor at the bar.
“If to say Tinubu do like this (gives me cash like this), you think say I no go dey praise am. Idiot!” Seyi Law said in his stand-up comedy performance to the delight of bargoers who erupted into laughter.
“You wey I no even know, na you dey give me something like this.”
Still, it is unclear whether Seyi Law was indeed pro or anti-Tinubu since he came on Twitter, now X, three days ago after the comedy show, to declare his unwavering support for Tinubu.
“I would rather stay with Moses through the wilderness to Canaan than eat meat and drink wine in slavery in Egypt at the expense of my children’s future,” Seyi Law wrote on X on February 17.
“To those still cursing in my mentions, if another election were held tomorrow, I would still vote for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.”
