Legendary singer Eedris Abdulkareem has disclosed that his fellow colleague, comedian Seyi Law, publicly apologized for his endorsement of Bola Tinubu for the presidency at a recent event in Lagos. Eedris shared this revelation in an interview with podcaster Nedu Wazobia.
According to Eedris, they were both present at an event where Seyi Law took to the stage to express regret over his political stance in the previous general elections. Seyi Law clarified that despite not receiving any financial compensation from the Tinubu administration, he endorsed Tinubu based on his strong belief in Tinubu’s mandate for Nigeria.
However, Seyi Law acknowledged the current worsening economic situation in Nigeria and the backlash he has received from Nigerians online for his political stance. The comedian had recently faced criticism for his endorsement of Tinubu, particularly considering the challenges faced by the country.
This disclosure by Eedris Abdulkareem sheds light on the dynamics of public endorsements in the Nigerian entertainment industry and the impact of political decisions on the public image of artists. As Seyi Law remains firm in his decision to support Tinubu, the interview adds an interesting perspective to the ongoing discussions surrounding politics and celebrity endorsements in Nigeria.
