Nigerian skitmaker and comedian, Mr Macaroni, has hit back at a lawyer who criticized him for not greeting Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu at a recent event. The lawyer had expressed disappointment over Macaroni’s apparent hostility towards the governor, but the comedian strongly disagreed. In a fiery response on social media, Mr Macaroni stated that he had no intention of engaging with Governor Sanwo-Olu, emphasizing that he had no personal issues with those who associate with the governor. However, he made it clear that he would not be pressured into greeting someone he chooses not to engage with. He added, "This is the last time I will address this. It’s not worth my peace of mind."
Mr Macaroni's comments are seen as a response to years of tension between the comedian and the Lagos State Government, particularly after he was arrested by the police during the #EndSARS protests in 2020. Many of his followers expressed support for his decision, pointing out that politicians are meant to serve the public and not the other way around. Some also pointed out the hypocrisy of the lawyer, questioning why he hadn’t spoken up when Macaroni was allegedly mistreated by Lagos police.
Macaroni’s response has sparked a mix of reactions on social media, with some defending his right to decide whom to greet, while others criticized him for being disrespectful. As the debate continues, it remains clear that the comedian is not backing down from his stance.
