Ekiti Man Challenges Comedian Seyi Law Over Governor Oyebanji Praise
An indigene of Ekiti State has publicly called out comedian Seyi Aletile, popularly known as Seyi Law, for his recent comments praising Governor Biodun Oyebanji's performance. The comedian had stated at an event that the governor is doing excellent work in the state and deserves a second term in office.
Video Evidence Highlights Infrastructure Issues
In response, the man recorded a video to showcase what he described as the real conditions in Ekiti State. He filmed under a bridge where dust clouds enveloped the area as motorists passed by, noting that residents have faced daily health hazards for months due to neglect. He emphasized that this situation has persisted for three years without any government intervention.
The man also visited other locations to highlight additional problems. He showed roads filled with potholes, criticizing Seyi Law for overlooking these issues. Furthermore, he entered a primary school built in 2014, pointing out that the roof remains incomplete despite the building being used for classes, underscoring the need for renovation.
Public Backlash and Allegations
Many people have supported the man's claims, with some alleging that Seyi Law is backing the APC-led government for personal gain. Critics have accused the comedian of hypocrisy, noting that he has sent his family abroad while supporting an administration that many feel has failed to address basic infrastructure and health concerns in Nigeria.
Social media reactions have been vocal, with users expressing frustration over perceived corruption and lack of integrity among supporters of the current government. Comments included accusations that Seyi Law is benefiting from a corrupt system and that his endorsement lacks credibility given the on-ground realities.
Broader Context and Previous Controversies
This incident adds to previous controversies involving Seyi Law, who has faced criticism for his political statements. In a separate event, he engaged in a heated exchange with a Twitter troll over allegations involving a nightclub incident, further fueling public debate about his actions and affiliations.
The video shared by the Ekiti man has sparked discussions about accountability and the role of celebrities in political discourse, highlighting tensions between public figures and grassroots concerns over governance and development in the state.
