Seyi Law reacts to video of northern leader decrying insecurity in the region

Nigerian comedian Lawrence Oluwaseyitan Aletile aka Seyi Law has reacted cynically to a video on social media of a Northern leader decrying the spate of insecurity in the region.
The humour merchant was reacting to a throwback video of a Northern leader, Professor Usman Yusuf, decrying the state of security in the region despite having leaders in high places.
Usman Yusuf also stated that President Tinubu could not come and bring peace to the North but the Northerners must bring peace to themselves without the intervention of the military.
‘’We had a Northern President from Katsina for eight years. Before he came, we did not have a single IDP. All our local governments were safe. Now, in Katsina state, 22 out of 34 local governments are under siege. Borno is more secure and safer than Katsina. We had a President who was from there.

‘‘That is the feeling of Northerners. We need to look at ourselves. And now here we are, we have a Vice President who is from the North. We have a Speaker who is number four and is from the North. We have an SGF from the North. We have the most senior Military officer who is from the North. We have all the Ministers of Defence from the North. We have the Minister of Police from the North. We have the National Security Adviser from the North.
‘‘President Tinubu would look at us and say you guys have no excuse not to bring peace to your land, so it is up to us to look at ourselves in the mirror. President Tinubu from the SouthWest cannot come and bring peace to us. It is us that must bring peace to ourselves. It is not the military that will bring peace to us,” Yusuf said.
While reacting cynically to the video, Seyi Law in a post on his X account, Seyi wrote that Northerners ”continue to damage their territory” because they want to reclaim power or because they ”hate another group.’’
‘’If you like, continue to ruin your region because of the quest for power or the hate for another tribe.”
