Minimum wage will increase, Seyi Law assures Nigerians amid backlash

Comedian Seyi Law has said he is currently in Abuja to speak with the Nigerian government about the economic hardship and ways to bring relief and minimum wage will increase.

Seyi Law said this in an Instagram post on Tuesday amid backlash over his support for President Biola Tinubu.

He wrote: “My fellow Nigerians, I laugh not at your pains and I know there’s a lot of hardship right now. The fact that I supported a different candidate from you isn’t to spite you, but out of my belief that my candidate will achieve a better Nigeria. I am here with you in Nigeria, and I am not alien to your angers, which is justified. I swear I truly feel your pain, but I am optimistic. I can’t abandon a government that I voted for. I can only join them to bring relief to Nigerians.

“I am currently in Abuja, and I am talking with some people in the government. My efforts might not mean much to you now, but I am praying it brings hope to your hearts again. The cost of governance will reduce, minimum wage will increase, and food affordability will improve.

Speaking further, the 40-year-old said he supported Tinubu for Nigerians and not against them, adding that he made his choice and stands by it.
