Seyi Law Praises President Tinubu’s Decision to Remove Fuel Subsidy
In a recent statement, renowned Nigerian actor and comedian Oluwaseyitan Aletile, popularly known as Seyi Law, commended President Bola Tinubu for the controversial decision to eliminate the fuel subsidy in Nigeria. While acknowledging that this policy shift has resulted in immediate hardships for many citizens, Seyi Law contended that it is ultimately a necessary step toward long-term benefits for the nation.
During his commentary, Seyi Law expressed his belief that the fuel subsidy should have been abolished much earlier, specifically citing the year 2012. He argued that had the subsidy been removed during the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan, when Tinubu’s political faction actively protested against it, the country would have already been liberated from the economic strain associated with the subsidy.
“Fuel subsidy should have been long gone. If it had gone in 2012 we would have gone through the pain process and by now we would have been healing,” Seyi Law remarked. He recalled his own involvement in the protests against the subsidy, noting that he was among the few celebrities to publicly oppose the subsidy system at that time.
Seyi Law highlighted the dire financial situation of the nation, referencing comments made by former Finance Minister Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, who noted that the government was struggling to pay salaries and was borrowing to meet its financial obligations. This retrospective insight adds weight to Seyi Law’s assertion that the removal of the subsidy, despite its current challenges, is a crucial move towards economic reform and sustainability for Nigerians.
Recent reports indicate a potential resolution to the previously strained relationship between Nigerian music icons Davido and Tiwa Savage. Despite past allegations of threats levied against Savage, stemming from a social media interaction involving Davido’s first baby mama, Sophia Momodu, Davido has publicly affirmed his dedication to Savage’s safety and well-being.
In a recent interview, Davido described Savage as his “sister for life,” emphasizing their long-standing bond and mutual respect within the industry. He further vowed to protect her with all his resources.
This statement comes a year after Savage filed a petition alleging threats against her, and despite initial reactions, including a protective response from Savage’s ex-husband, Teebillz, Davido’s recent declaration suggests a commitment to reconciliation and a renewed sense of camaraderie within the Nigerian music scene. It remains to be seen how this development will further evolve the dynamics between these influential figures.
