If dem born you well, light matches near Lagos properties – Seyi Law threatens Obidients

Popular Nigerian comedian Seyi Law has threatened Labour Party and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) suporters who are upset about the outcome of the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal (PEPT).

On Wednesday, Septemder 7, PEPT rejected the appeals of Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar and confirmed President Bola Tinubu's win in the election of 2023.

Many Nigerians and political elites have reacted differently to the verdict, with some claiming the judiciary was tainted.

Seyi claimed in a picture uploaded on Instagram that anyone who seek to protest or vandalize property in Lagos State after being outraged by the final decision do so to their own harm.

He wrote: “If dem burn you well, just light matches near Lagos properties in the name of anger. Body go tell you.”

In response to the post, DJ Gosporella, a former international disc jockey and gospel musician from Nigeria, forewarned Seyi, saying that no LP supporter would desire violence but instead wanted a better Nigeria founded upon reasonable foundation.

He wrote: “Seyi, why would anybody want to do that? You don’t destroy what you are protecting. The Obidients want a better Nigeria for everybody built on justifiable foundations. You know it would have been a different case if the tables were turned around. But again, everybody is entitled to their opinion. Nigeria won’t burn, but something has shifted, and we will all witness it. God bless Nigeria”

Responding to the singer, Seyi wrote: “@djgosporella Sir, it is only obidients that want better for Nigeria. It is pure fallacy. Let’s stop it abeg. Nobody, I repeat. Nobody I have met that is more patriotic about Nigeria as I am. My choice and stand to vote in Tinubu is a personal conviction that I can defend with my life. I will criticise him constructively, and I will support him strongly without fear.

“No man is a messiah of another. None. People can not abuse me and insult my family carelessly and hope that it will end there. I know and believe Nigeria will make giant leaps under Tinubu. Nobody in the name of obidients will intimidate me to submission. If I was paid to support Tinubu, let God judge, but if it was from a place of sincerity and belief in his ability to make Nigeria better, may God help me be better, and Nigeria greater.”
