Yoruba for Yoruba jobs: I didn’t vote Asiwaju to see this madness – Seyi Law

Nigerian Comedian, Seyi Law has reacted to a certain Yoruba for Yoruba jobs protest.

There were reports that Tonia Somaga, a graduate from Anambra State and a Labour Party, LP supporter who drives one of the Lagos State blue rails, was called out by some residents, urging the Lagos State government to sack her, following her campaign for Peter Obi.

Reacting to this, Seyi Law described it as absolute madness. He noted that the female train driver is an opportunity to preach peace and show that the All Progressives Congress, APC, is different.

He expressed his disgust in a tweet, he wrote: “This is absolute madness. I did not support ASIWAJU to see these things. Are you saying even the 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 to preach peace and show we are different. I’m not belittling your anger, but we must learn to compromise for the collective peace we crave. You can respect your tribe without denigrating another. Please, let’s sheath our swords.

“These attitudes give bad names to good ideas. We must do what’s right to say we deserve more. Please, I believe we can do better. Things are tending in a direction I don’t appreciate. This doesn’t in any way dim my support for the good I believe ASIWAJU will bring. Thanks.”
