“Let The Young Man Be”- Seyi Law Defends Peter Obi’s Son Amid Viral Photo Backlash

Nigerian comedian, Seyi Law, has spoken out on the controversy trailing viral photos of Oseloka Obi, son of former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi.

The images, which surfaced online in August 2025, showed Oseloka dining with his friend, Okwesa, in what many described as a “too-close” moment.

The photos quickly became a hot topic on social media, with some critics hinting that the situation could affect his father’s political future.

As online reactions intensified, Seyi Law addressed the matter, urging Nigerians not to drag Oseloka into politics.

The comedian wrote:

“Now, family is off limits. I never insulted anyone first. It’s okay, sha. Though it is painful, we should be careful not to become what we condemn. Please, let the young man be. He is not his father, neither is he the one that made him some people’s choice.”

Although Seyi Law has been one of Peter Obi’s harshest critics, he stressed that it is unfair to involve the young man in political battles.

He also shared a screenshot of a message his wife once received from a supporter of Obi during the 2023 elections. The message, which carried threats against his family, came simply because he did not support their candidate.

Seyi Law described the experience as painful and unnecessary, adding that Nigerians must learn to separate politics from family.
