Stand-up comedian and actor, Oluseyi Aletile, popularly known as Seyi Law, recently aimed a dig at 2023 Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, after a viral video of him serving food to guests at an event in Imo State surfaced on the internet.
The video, which is still trending on social media, shows Obi carrying trays with plates of food, warmly interacting with attendees, and dishing out meals at the event.
Reposting the footage on his X page, Seyi Law sarcastically mocked the former Anambra State governor, insinuating that the gesture was more of a calculated display than an act of genuine humility.
“This is the height of humility. Na today I confirm sey Peter Obi really humble,” he sarcastically wrote.

However, after his post made the rounds online, supporters of Obi, popularly known as Obidients, quickly filled his comments section with rebuttals, insisting that the LP chieftain had always demonstrated humility.
Reacting to the mockery, an X user identified as @Jossynario wrote, “This is in a region where he got over 95% votes. He doesn’t need to work hard to impress anyone here.”
Also defending the former governor, another netizen, @Nellycentz said, “Imagine what this idiot will say when Jesus was washing the feet of his disciples then. Or when the Pope does the same to his subjects.”
Agu-iyi added, “I remember when Sanwo-Olu went to the church to greet and engage people when he was seeking re-election. You all lost your voices. See the pictures of UK prime ministers and US presidents serving food. Why is that not an issue but you are losing sleep that @PeterObi served?”
@Ai_Abaelu also wrote, “PO as a serving governor invited the leaders of the students’ union—two persons from each town. After a project tour across the state, he hosted the students and served food himself in the lodge. A governor served students food then. This is not the first or the second time.*
