Why Seyi Law Slammed Isaac Fayose
In a related development, Legit.ng previously reported that Seyi Law took a swipe at Isaac Fayose for demanding President Tinubu’s immediate resignation over the current economic hardship. Fayose had shared a video claiming that Lagos roads remain empty because struggling citizens can no longer afford high petrol pump prices.
