Stand Up Comedian, Oluwaseyitan Aletile, also known as Seyi Law has denied campaigning for President Bola Tinubu during the last election.
The comedian claimed that he simply openly stated that Tinubu was his preferred candidate and did not push people to vote for him.
Seyi Law, who resides abroad, has come under criticism on social media as the country’s economic situation worsens, with many young people criticising him for supporting President Bola Tinubu’s Federal Government.
However, on the newest episode of The Honest Bunch, the comedy star stated that it was unfair for people to continue to criticise him over the economic crisis, claiming that he never urged Nigerians to vote for President Tinubu.
He said, “I never said ‘vote for Tinubu’. Go and check. Iwrite the things that I know he did in Lagos, and I will put ‘Asiwaju Bola Ahmedu.
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.”
