Popular Nigerian skit maker and activist, Mr Macaroni, has revealed why he will persist in snubbing the current Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, despite social media backlash.
The skit maker’s comments came after an X user, @OyesileJohn, criticized him for supposedly snubbing the governor. The user posted: “To d’ifa fun a certain Macarroni who, in an attempt to please the mob, snubbed the governor of Lagos state. Omo ase.”
The tweet generated significant reactions online, with many defending Macaroni for staying firm in his convictions.
In response to the online user, Mr Macaroni posted a series of tweets reiterating that he would continue to snub the governor, stating: “I will continue to snub your Governor. He doesn’t mean anything to me, neither do you or your father. I love that you slaves bring this issue up all the time. For every time you do, I will send you to your masters.”
He then further explained his stance, recalling a painful experience in detention, where he was allegedly abused by the authorities.
He revealed that he was told by the police to “stop disturbing the governor.” Macaroni emphasized that he could never reconcile with a government that “stripped me naked, beat, tortured, brutalized and dehumanized me.”
