Popular Nigerian comedian Oluwaseyitan Lawrence Aletile, better known by his stage as Seyi Law, has stated that he will never back previous Labour Party candidate Peter Obi’s bid for president, according to Daily Post News. According to Seyi Law, Obi’s inability to control his followers known as the Obidient movement—is what led to his choice.
Speaking during an appearance on the Teju Babyface podcast, the comedian recounted how Obidient supporters harassed his wife and children simply because he backed President Bola Tinubu during the last election.He expressed disappointment that Obi has consistently refused to acknowledge that his followers have targeted individuals who do not support him.
“That’s why no matter what Peter Obi does, I can never support him. His supporters came for my wife and children.As long as Peter Obi refuses to address their actions and continues to deny their behaviour, he will never have my backing.“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 group that doesn’t allow people to think freely is nothing short of a cult.”
