Nollywood comic actor and stand-up comedian, Oluwaseyitan Aletile, popularly known as Seyi Law, has slammed President Bola Tinubu’s administration for proposing the procurement of a N5billion presidential yacht amid the prevailing hardship in the country.
The thespian berated the government via his X handle, while responding to
the money penned down for the procurement of such luxury.
Several news outlets had earlier reported that the 2023 supplementary budget the President submitted to the National Assembly for approval showed his administration intends to spend N5.095 billion on a presidential yacht.
Speaking on the development via his official social media page, Seyi Law said the proposal was “insensitive to the plight of Nigerians.”
He went on to dissociate himself from such a plan and called on the president to immediately reverse his decision to prove to Nigerians that he listens.
He tweeted: “I am absolutely not in support of the procurement of the presidential yacht. It is quite insensitive to the plight of Nigerians at this moment to even rationalise it.
“I call on the president, @officialABAT, to once again prove to Nigerians that he listens. Thank you, your Excellency.”
