Popular comedian Seyi Law has responded angrily to Shehu Abubakar, son of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, after Shehu referred to President Bola Tinubu as a “drug baron.”
Shehu made the remark while reacting to a statement by U.S. President Donald Trump, who described Nigeria as a “disgraced country” and threatened military action over alleged Christian persecution.
Shehu’s post on X (formerly Twitter) read: “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, a known supporter of President Tinubu, fired back at Shehu on X, questioning his moral ground to insult the president.
“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,” he wrote.
The exchange between the comedian and the politician’s son has since sparked mixed reactions online, with supporters from both sides defending their favorites in the ongoing political debate.
