In an Instagram live session, Seun expressed strong opposition to recent events in the country. He particularly criticised the removal of the fuel subsidy, a decision made during the first year of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration. He condemned the move as a “wicked decision” that failed to consider the welfare of citizens.

“The president cannot tell us that this petrol matter is not in his control. He is the president and minister of petrol. They say they take tough decisions, but there is no tough decision taken here. President Tinubu took a wicked decision; this whole subsidy and floating the dollar, there is nothing tough about it,” he wrote.

Seun also criticised the acquisition of luxury cars and private jets by politicians in recent years, arguing that the funds could have been better spent on building quality schools for Nigerian citizens.

He stated: “Who donated for the $150 million jet for Tinubu? Who did they ask for donations? That $150 million—do you know how many schools it will build? Or how long it will run a primary school? Ten good primary schools could be run on that money for at least 20 years. Ten good primary schools would be built and run, which would educate ten generations of African people,” he said.

The activist and singer also continued: “Don’t let anybody tell you that there is something in Nigeria that the government cannot afford or that they need some private person to invest. If someone tells you that, tell the person to shut up!”
