Hardship: Nigerians hungry because of Tinubu’s policies – Seyi Law
Nigerian comedian, Oluwaseyitan Aletile, better known as Seyi Law, has admitted that some of the policies of the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu have caused pain to Nigerians.
He, however, insisted none of the top presidential candidates in the 2023 presidential election, Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi could have done better than Tinubu.
Speaking in an interview with Seun Akinbaloye on Mic On Podcast, the veteran comedian maintained that what Nigerians were feeling at the moment were short term pains which would soon disappear.
“Nobody could have done better than what President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is doing today. President Tinubu has the best manifesto out of the three top candidates. I challenge any of them to present their manifesto. Let us compare.
“President Tinubu has stayed through to his manifesto and his processes are speaking in alignment to what he hopes to achieve and I’m very happy with that.
“I knew the pain that would come with some of these policies and I prepared myself for it. But at the same time, I’ll not put myself in the shoes of every other person and assume that they would bear the pain as much I would.
“I don’t benefit from anything from the government. I don’t work for the government except for my recent appointment. But at the same time, I must be able to speak the truth. Nigerians are hungry because of these policies.
“But this pain is for the short term. In the medium term and long term we should start feeling a sort of succour and relief from those pains and hunger,” he added.
