Nigerian comedian Seyi Law has declared that he will not support Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 elections, in any future political race.
Seyi Law, who endorsed President Bola Tinubu during the last election, made this statement during an interview on the Teju Babyface show.
He explained that his decision stems from the behavior of Obi’s supporters, known as the “Obidient movement,” whom he accused of directing insults at his wife and children.
According to the comedian, Peter Obi’s failure to publicly condemn such actions has made him undeserving of his support.

“The moment you cross that boundary from me to my children, mother, and wife, there is no forgiveness. That is why there is nothing on earth that Peter Obi can do that will make me support him,” he said.
Seyi Law likened Obi’s supporters to a “cult” that does not tolerate independent thought, emphasizing that he cannot overlook their targeting of his family members.
“They attacked my children and my wife. As long as Peter Obi does not call them to order and he keeps denying that they are doing that, he will never get my support. Let Peter Obi wear the garment of Jesus Christ today, he will never get my support,” he added.
Seyi Law further criticized the nature of political discussions among some of Peter Obi’s followers, stating that his personal life is a matter between him and God, regardless of whether people like or dislike him.
He asserted that any group that does not encourage independent thought is akin to a cult.
While acknowledging that he doesn’t hold onto personal anger for extended periods, Seyi Law stressed that attacks directed at his family have a lasting impact on him.
“One of the good things that God has done for me is that my anger does not last long. Personal anger for me does not last long. The only place it lasts long is when you leave me and attack my children, mother, and wife,” he said.
