Nigerian comedian and social activist, Adebowale Adedayo, widely known as Mr Macaroni, has responded to the public backlash following his decision not to greet Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, at a recent public event.

The incident, which has generated widespread debate on social media, has prompted discussions about the comedian’s motivations and whether his actions were appropriate.

In a direct response to the criticism, Mr Macaroni made it clear that his stance remains unchanged.

Through his X account, he asserted that he would not acknowledge Governor Sanwo-Olu in future interactions, doubling down with the statement.

“This is the last time I will address this matter. It is not worth my peace of mind. Since you people won’t stop attacking me because I didn’t greet Governor Sanwo-Olu, next time I see him, I still won’t greet him. And this time, even if he calls me, I won’t answer. You people will cry today, tomorrow, and forever,” he wrote.

Mr Macaroni’s decision is rooted in his ongoing advocacy for good governance and accountability, particularly during and after the #EndSARS protests in Nigeria.

Rhe comedian was an active participant during the protests against police brutality and poor governance, which culminated in his arrest at the Lekki Toll Gate during the #OccupyLekkiTollGate protest in February 2021.

His experience during that period has been a significant factor in shaping his critical stance toward government officials.

The comedian’s recent remarks have drawn mixed reactions from the public. While some critics accused him of disrespecting the governor’s office and undermining proper decorum, his supporters have praised him for remaining true to his principles and demanding accountability from public officials.

Further addressing his critics, Mr Macaroni expressed frustration over the socio-economic challenges faced by Nigerians, noting, “The people are suffering!!! The price of everything is up. Instead of you people holding your leaders accountable, you are busy kissing their bumbum.”

Additionally, he condemned individuals who, in his view, criticize public officials publicly but privately seek favors.

“Some people called out their state governors every day then went behind closed doors to collect envelopes to become praise singers,” he said, emphasizing the hypocrisy he perceives within the activist and political spaces.

He firmly dismissed any notions that ongoing criticism would influence him to alter his position. His remarks underscore his determination to remain true to his beliefs, regardless of public backlash or personal attacks.

“I am no saint. I am nobody’s hero. I am far from perfect. I do what I do only because I strongly believe in it. Do I get tired of the constant attacks on my person? Yes! But please do not think for a second that I will betray my conscience,” he wrote.

“Shame on all those who have joined in creating this toxic culture of tribal bigotry. Kudos to every Nigerian, irrespective of their tribe, who see beyond this mischief and continue to do their best to promote peace and unity,” he said.
