Nigerian comedian Seyi Law, as lashed out at people in Southwest states who were protesting the "Yoruba for Yoruba Jobs" program.
According to sources, Tonia Somaga, a graduate from Anambra State and supporter of the Labour Party (LP), drives one of the blue rails in Lagos State. She was criticized by some for her support of Peter Obi and was urged to be fired by the Lagos State government.
Seyi Law posted a picture on twitter of a man posing in front of a sign that read, "Yoruba Jobs for Yoruba People" on Twitter.
The organization urged businesses, organizations, and governments to hire 90% Yoruba people.
The comedian responded by calling the movement "complete madness" and declaring that he did not support Bola Tinubu for president because of it.
He pointed out that the female LP fan on the train presents a chance to promote peace and demonstrate the All Progressives Congress' (APC's) uniqueness.
He tweeted: “This is absolute madness. I didn’t support ASIWAJU to see all these things.
“Are you saying even companies owned by non- Yoruba should do the same or just those owned by Yorubas? Either way, this is wrong, so let’s stop promoting rubbish in the name of anger.
“The train girl was an opportunity for us to preach peace and show we are different. I am not belittling your anger, but we must learn to compromise for the collective peace we crave. You can respect your tribe without denigrating another. Abeg na, let’s sheath our swords.
“These attitudes give bad names to good ideas. We must do what is right to say we deserve more. Please, I believe we can do better. Things are tending in the direction I don’t appreciate. This doesn’t in any way dim my support for the good, I believe ASIWAJU will bring. Thanks.”
