Nigerian Stand-up Comedian, Seyi Law, has urged President Bola Tinubu to forget investigating the sponsors of #EndBadGovernance and put the energy into engaging the youth.
Seyi Law stated this in an open letter directed to the President and shared via his official X handle.
In the letter, the comedian claimed the backlash aimed towards Tinubu was because he had helped former President Muhammadu Buhari to rule Nigeria again.
The letter read, “I am very happy that I never voted for Buhari at any time. I am very happy. All the hits you are receiving today are because you allowed Buhari to rule Nigeria again,” he wrote.
“While I believe you can help Nigeria get better by fixing the mess. I don’t pity you for taking the job.
“Asiwaju, thank you for stopping the exchange rate arbitrage that was enriching a few of us and the fuel subsidy. Now, let’s get more policies that will better our lives at the grassroots.
“Your Excellency, forget about those sponsoring the protest and engage your young population in dialogue. You can’t afford to fail.”
Recall that the President in a nationwide broadcast on August 4, stated that he has heard the protesters “loud and clear”.
He also called for an end to the protest “so we can create room for dialogue, which I have always acceded to at the slightest opportunity”.
Seyi endorsed Tinubu as his preferred presidential candidate during the 2023 general elections.
In July, he was appointed as the senior special assistant on entertainment and tourism to Lucky Aiyedatiwa, Ondo governor.
