Popular stand-up comedian and actor, Oluwaseyitan Aletile, better known as Seyi Law, has said he would vote for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu again if a fresh election comes up tomorrow, despite the economic hardship in the country.
He made this known recently via a lengthy post he shared via his official X handle.
Speaking in the now viral tweet, the Nollywood thespian likened the current economic hardship in Nigeria to the biblical wilderness experience of the Israelites, saying he would rather stay with “a Moses through the wilderness to Canaan than eat meat and drink wine in slavery in Egypt at the expense of my children’s future.”
He went on to add that “while a lot of Nigerians kill the optimism of others with hate and urge for immediate gratification, it is sad that our government agencies are not communicating government agendas, efforts, and actions effectively.”

Seyi Law further encouraged Nigerians to make demands from their state governors rather than depending on the Federal Government for “everything.”
The comic actor also said “it is easy for any government at the centre to please the multitude by reverting back to full subsidy on fuel and exchange rates, but I would rather we reset, rebuild, and sustain our future than live on a better now by borrowing our future.”
Addressing his fans and other netizens criticising him for his continued support for Tinubu’s administration, despite the excruciating economic crunch, Seyi Law said, “if another election was held tomorrow, I would still vote Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.”
