Tonia Somaga, a graduate from Anambra State and a Labour Party (LP) supporter. She drives one of the newly commissioned Lagos State blue rails and has been in the center of the storm lately. 

Some Yoruba extremists have called her out, asking the Lagos State governments to sack her from the job because she supported and campaigned for Peter Obi.

Nigerian comedian Oluwaseyitan Aletile, popularly known as Seyi Law, has expressed his disappointment at the ongoing calls to sack a Tonia Somaga by some Yoruba Youths.

However, Nigerian comedian Oluwaseyitan Aletile AKA Seyi Law, on Thursday reacted to the call. He registered his disappointment in a tweet stating that the female train driver is an opportunity to promote peace and show that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is different.

Seyi shared a picture of a man with a ‘Yoruba Jobs for Yoruba People’ poster describing the trend as absolute madness, insisting he didn’t support the President-elect, Bola Tinubu, to see such a trend.

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.”
