Seyilaw Apologizes For Saying Nigeria Is Safer Now

Comedian Seyilaw has expressed regret over his comment that Nigeria is safer now than it was ten years ago.

Seyi earlier made the statement on a podcast, praising the Tinubu-led government for tackling insecurity, but many Nigerians, including victims of kidnappings, criticized it as insensitive.

In a video shared on his Instagram page, he said:
“My fellow Nigerians,
I owe you this and more. You don’t deserve to have your sleep snatched away from you and the pain of one should be the pain of all.

I am sincerely and deeply sorry for such insensitive statement. I apologise to victims, families and everyone who has been affected in any way by the insecurity in the country.

As a supporter of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR, I want to also use this opportunity to call on him to intensify efforts in the battle against insecurity.

God bless you and God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”
