Seyi Law Drags P-Square: You Danced for Buhari, Now Bash Tinubu

Popular Nigerian comedian Seyi Law has stirred the waters in the entertainment and political spaces once again—this time, by calling out the iconic music duo, P-Square, over what he described as political hypocrisy.
Speaking during a candid conversation with media personality Teju BabyFace, Seyi Law didn’t mince words as he revisited the backlash he received for supporting President Bola Tinubu in the last election. According to him, many of his colleagues in the entertainment industry who now oppose Tinubu were once aligned with the same political party they now criticize.
In a pointed reference to P-Square, Seyi Law remarked, “The same people who are against the APC today once danced on stage when Buhari was inaugurated. They sang, they danced, and the crowd rejoiced. But today, Tinubu is suddenly the enemy?”
He didn’t stop there. With a mix of sarcasm and frustration, the comedian continued: “Sometimes these same colleagues waving the umbrella one day and the cock another day want to act like saints. But they’re not. If APC had presented Osinbajo, they would have used Buhari’s shadow to reject him too.”
For context, P-Square, who performed their hit track ‘E No Easy’ at Muhammadu Buhari’s 2015 inauguration, were among the most visible celebrity supporters of Labour Party’s Peter Obi during the 2023 elections. The duo even took to campaign stages to perform in support of Obi, a move that earned them admiration from the Obidient movement but criticism from others, including Seyi Law.
Seyi’s comments strike at the heart of a broader debate: Should entertainers be politically neutral, or are they allowed to evolve in their choices—just like any other citizen?
While some fans have applauded his frankness, others argue that artists, like voters, should have the freedom to change their minds based on the political climate and leadership performance.
As political conversations continue to heat up in the build-up to 2027, one thing is clear—Nigeria’s entertainers are no longer on the sidelines. But as they take a seat at the table, Seyi Law is making sure the receipts are not forgotten.
