“God and Time Will Judge Them” – Seyi Law Calls Out Celebs Cozying Up to Tinubu After Criticizing Him Publicly

 

Comedian and outspoken supporter of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Seyi Law, has taken a public swipe at nightlife entrepreneur Cubana Chief Priest and social media influencer Tunde Ednut, accusing them of hypocrisy and two-faced behavior in their dealings with the current Nigerian administration.

Voicing his displeasure via his verified X account, Seyi Law lashed out at Cubana Chief Priest following the latter’s recent visit to the State House where he met with President Tinubu. The meeting, widely publicized through shared photographs, has sparked conversations across social media platforms, especially among Nigerians critical of the Tinubu-led government.

Seyi Law, who has weathered significant backlash for his vocal support of Tinubu, expressed frustration over what he perceives as disingenuous behavior from personalities like Chief Priest. According to the comedian, individuals who publicly align themselves with critics of the government often turn around and seek personal gains from the same administration they appear to condemn.

Taking no prisoners, he wrote that Cubana and others like him only pander to the anger of the masses online but privately hustle for favors and recognition from the corridors of power. Seyi did not hold back, stating, “God and time will judge these people.” His words struck a chord with many of his followers and detractors alike, triggering a heated debate across the platform.

Adding fuel to the fire, Seyi also took a jab at former musician and now content curator, Tunde Ednut. He alleged that President Tinubu personally reached out to Tunde with a phone call on the occasion of his birthday — an act he described as one that brought immense joy to the internet personality. While he did not dismiss the legitimacy of such a gesture, the implication was clear: those who subtly or overtly criticize the government are not above enjoying its perks behind closed doors.

The comments reflect growing tension within the entertainment industry, where many celebrities walk a fine line between staying politically neutral and engaging in activism. Seyi Law’s grievances highlight a broader issue — the double standards and quiet diplomacy that often go unnoticed while public figures maintain a carefully curated image online.

This isn't the first time the comedian has come under fire for his political stance. Following the 2023 general elections, his open support for President Tinubu earned him significant backlash, especially from younger Nigerians disillusioned with the state of governance. Critics have mocked him for not having direct access to Tinubu despite his allegiance, a point they emphasized after Cubana Chief Priest publicly flaunted his State House visit.

While Seyi has remained largely defiant in the face of online trolling, his recent outburst suggests a tipping point. The apparent contradiction between public condemnation of government policies and private fraternization with political elites has become too glaring for him to ignore.

Observers say his frustration may also stem from a sense of betrayal. For someone who has invested considerable social capital defending Tinubu’s administration, watching others — who appear publicly indifferent or even critical — receive presidential attention and favors could feel like a slap in the face.

Social media users have reacted to Seyi’s post with mixed emotions. While some praised his candor and called for greater authenticity from public figures, others viewed the rant as a veiled expression of envy and political bitterness.

At a time when Nigeria’s economic and political climate is under scrutiny, the spotlight has shifted once again to the role of celebrities in shaping public perception and political discourse. The questions raised by Seyi Law’s comments are not just about Cubana Chief Priest or Tunde Ednut, but about a wider culture of performative outrage and backdoor diplomacy that continues to muddy the waters of accountability.

As the dust settles, one thing is certain — the lines between advocacy, opportunism, and hypocrisy are becoming harder to distinguish in the world of Nigerian celebrity politics.
