Nigerian comedian Seyi Law has praised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, stating that his administration rescued Nigeria from the brink of economic collapse.
Seyi Law made the remarks on Friday in Abuja during the APC National Convention 2026, where he expressed strong confidence in the president’s leadership and reform agenda.
“If I were to introduce Mr President, how would I do it? I would let people know that this is a man that I am willing to stake everything for, because he is the man that brought Nigeria back from the brink of economic collapse when our net foreign reserve stood at barely one billion US dollars.
“But today, we celebrate a net foreign reserve of about 40 billion US dollars and a gross foreign reserve of 50.7 billion US dollars,” he said.
The comedian also defended key economic policies introduced by the administration, including the removal of fuel subsidies and the unification of the foreign exchange market.
“Corruption does not just go away; you tackle it systematically. On the first day of his inauguration, he struck corruption by stopping the fuel subsidy regime.
“He did not stop there. He looked at how foreign exchange was affecting the nation and floated the currency. Today, the black market and the official market have been unified,” he added.
On education, Seyi Law commended the government’s efforts to reduce industrial actions in universities and improve student support systems.
“He understood education, and that is why he ensured that a four-year course runs for four years. This administration has recorded one of the shortest strikes, with just a nine-day interruption. Today, students benefit from loans, with almost one million already benefiting and receiving a ₦20,000 monthly stipend,” he said.
He further pointed to investments in technical education, noting that federal technical colleges now offer tuition-free education, with some students reportedly receiving stipends of up to ₦45,000.
The entertainer also highlighted ongoing infrastructure projects across the country, including major highway developments and rehabilitation works aimed at improving connectivity and economic activity.
According to him, the administration has also prioritised youth inclusion and support for small and medium-scale enterprises, with significant funding reportedly allocated to boost the sector.
“There has been no president in the history of this nation with this level of inclusion of Nigerian youth in government. Mr President is turning the situation of Nigeria around,” he said.
Seyi Law has remained a vocal supporter of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, consistently defending his policies and promoting his administration’s achievements, despite criticism and backlash from sections of the public.
