Seyi Law, the Nigerian stand-up comedian, has revealed why he will never support Labour Party’s Peter Obi in any future political contest.
During the 2023 elections, the 41-year-old endorsed President Bola Tinubu as his preferred candidate.
In a recent interview on the Teju Babyface show, Seyi cited the “Obidient movement” as the reason for his stance, claiming that its members insulted his wife and children.
He argued that the former Anambra governor’s “failure” to condemn their actions makes him “unfit” for his support.
He also likened Obi’s supporters to a “cult” that doesn’t “support free thinking” and emphasized that crossing personal boundaries, especially regarding family, is “unforgivable”.
“The moment you cross that boundary from me to my children, mother, and wife, there is no forgiveness. That is why there is nothing on earth that Peter Obi can do that will make me support him,” he said.
“They attacked my children and my wife. As long as Peter Obi does not call them to order and he keeps denying that they are doing that, he will never get my support. Let Peter Obi wear the garment of Jesus Christ today, he will never get my support.
“Hate or love me, my personal way of life is between me and God. Any organisation that does not support free thinking is a cult. I do not feel down at all because when you talk too much, I swear to you.
“One of the good things that God has done for me is that my anger does not last long. Personal anger for me does not last long. The only place it lasts long is when you leave me and attack my children, mother, and wife.”
