Continue To Ruin Your Region Because Of The Quest For Power - Seyi Law Says As He Shares Video Of A Northern Leader Lamenting About Insecurity In The Region

Seyi Law

Popular Nigerian comedian, Seyi Law has slammed the Northerners, asking them to ‘’continue to ruin their region''  because they want to take back power from the present government or due to their ‘’hate for another tribe.''

He stated this on his X handle after posting a throwback video of a Northern leader, Professor Usman Yusuf, decrying the state of security in the region despite having a Northerner as a former President and a Northerner as the current Vice President and Speaker of the House of Representatives.

In the video, Professor Usman Yusuf said;

‘’We had a Northern President from Katsina for eight years. Before he came, we did not have a single IDP. All our local governments were safe. Now Katsina state 22 out of 34 local governments are under siege. Borno is more secure and safer than Katsina. We had a President who was from there.

That is the feeling of Northerners. We need to look at ourselves. And now here we are, we have a Vice President who is from the North. We have a Speaker who is number four who is from the North. We have an SGF from the North. We have the most senior Military officer who is from the North. We have all the Minister of Defence from the North. We have the Minister of Police from the North. We have the National Security Adviser who is from the North.

President Tinubu would look at us and say you guys have no excuse not to bring peace to your land, so it is up to us to look at ourselves in the mirror. President Tinubu from the SouthWest cannot come and bring peace to us. It is us that must bring peace to ourselves. It is not the military that will bring peace to us''.

Reacting to the video, the comedian wrote;

‘’If you like, continue to ruin your region because of the quest for power or the hate for another tribe.''
