Nigerian comedian, Seyi Law, has clapped back at Shehu Abubakar, son of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, after he described President Bola Tinubu as a “drug baron.”
Shehu made the remark while reacting to U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent statement referring to Nigeria as a “now disgraced country.”
Trump had threatened possible military intervention over what he called “Christian genocide” in Nigeria a comment that sparked heated debates online under the hashtag #DisgracedCountry.
Weighing in on the controversy, Shehu Abubakar wrote on X, “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 & hold ourselves accountable before we accuse outsiders.”
In defense of President Tinubu, Seyi Law fired back, questioning Shehu’s moral standing to speak on corruption and integrity.
He wrote: “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 extra-judicial killing of Deborah. Na really wa.”
Seyi Law, who has been a vocal supporter of Tinubu, has continued to defend the administration despite growing criticism on social media.
