Comedian and actor, Seyi Law, has taken a swipe at Shehu Abubakar, son of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, after he referred to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as a “drug baron.”

Shehu made the controversial remark while responding to a trending post about former US President Donald Trump’s recent comments describing Nigeria as a “now disgraced country.”

Trump’s statement came while threatening possible US military intervention over alleged attacks on Christians in Nigeria, a claim that ignited intense online debate.

Shehu waded in with a post many saw as an attack on President Tinubu’s integrity.

He wrote: “Why are some upset that Donald Trump called us disgraceful? When they announced a drug baron as our President, what do you call that? Prideful? I know it hurts our pride as a nation but we have to first look inwards and hold ourselves accountable before we accuse outsiders."

Seyi Law swiftly fired back in a fiery post on X.

The comedian, who has consistently supported Tinubu since the 2023 elections, accused Shehu of hypocrisy, reminding him of the long-standing money laundering allegations against his father.

Seyi Law posted: “This is coming from someone whose father was called a thief by his principal and indicted as a money launderer in the US. Someone whose father deleted his handler’s tweet about the extrajudicial killing of Deborah. Na really wa.”

His response instantly became one of the most discussed posts of the night, with Nigerians taking sides between the outspoken comedian and Atiku’s son.
