By Utebor Paul, Nigeria

Nigerian comedian, Oluwaseyitan Aletile also known as Seyi Law, has stated that he will most likely not participate in the planned protest on August 1st to end bad governance in the country.

He made this known through his “X” account, formerly known as Twitter.

According to him, he will not be joining the protest because he is privy to the steps the government is taking to alleviate poverty in the country.

Seyi called on government aides to improve their communication of the government’s efforts to the people.

He highlighted the steps that have been carried out by the government to mitigate the current economic hardship in the country.

Taking to his “X” account, he wrote, “When all is done, and the dust has settled. We, the supporters of the President, must tell his aides the truth. They need to do better in communicating what the government has done, is doing, and going to do to better the lots of Nigerians.

“N50,000 grants were given to Nigerians. Who are the beneficiaries? Maybe we need a new way to identify them so that when they’re running mad online, we can tell them. Student loans are being disbursed, and the northerners are taking advantage of it, but the southerners are wallowing in doubts until it is too late.

“Kaduna and Niger states are working to see a revolution in agriculture while their southern counterparts are quiet, complaining about transportation of food products from the north. Why are our state governors being docile despite increased allocation? Lagos is taking giant steps, and other western states are not leveraging the proximity.

“There is a livestock ministry now and trust it to be a northern affair when the south can plant the grass for feeding. Who will bell the cats? I may not join the protest because I understand some of the government’s steps to liberate the country, but how many will search for the information themselves.

“Let’s do better abeg, so that Nigeria will not fail,” he said.
