Nigerian comedian Seyi Law has reaffirmed his support for President Bola Tinubu, praising the administration’s economic policies and leadership direction.
Speaking at the APC National Convention 2026 in Abuja on Friday, the comedian said he remains confident in the president’s ability to steer Nigeria’s economy, arguing that the current administration has helped avert an economic crisis.
Seyi Law stated that he would confidently vouch for the president’s leadership, noting that the country’s financial outlook had improved under the administration. According to him, Nigeria’s net foreign reserves rose significantly from about $1 billion to roughly $40 billion, while gross reserves climbed to $50.7 billion.
He also defended major policy decisions introduced by the government, particularly the removal of fuel subsidies and the unification of the foreign exchange market. He argued that the measures were necessary steps toward tackling systemic corruption and stabilising the economy.
The comedian added that ending the fuel subsidy regime addressed long-standing financial leakages, while the decision to float the currency helped narrow the gap between the official and parallel market exchange rates.
On education, Seyi Law commended the administration for reducing disruptions in universities and expanding student support initiatives. He noted that academic calendars had become more stable, with fewer strike actions, and highlighted the introduction of student loans.
He further claimed that nearly one million students had benefited from the loan programme, alongside a monthly stipend of ₦20,000, describing the initiative as a significant boost for access to higher education.
