Nigerian comedian Seyi Law has declared he will never support Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, regardless of any circumstance. In a recent interview, Seyi Law explained that his stance stems from personal attacks on his wife and children by supporters of Peter Obi, known as the Obidient movement, after he publicly backed President Bola Tinubu.
Seyi Law accused Obi of failing to call his supporters to order or acknowledge their actions, which he described as crossing an unforgivable boundary. He stated:
“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. 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”.
Seyi Law further likened the Obidient movement to a “cult” that does not support free thinking, emphasizing that the issue is deeply personal and non-negotiable for him.
