Actor and activist Mr. Macaroni reignited criticism of President Tinubu by reposting Tinubu’s 2014 tweets condemning insecurity under former President Jonathan. In light of renewed violence in Plateau and Benue, Macaroni questioned Tinubu’s leadership, sparking outrage and debate across social media over hypocrisy and government failure.

Following the recent wave of violence and attacks on Christian communities in Plateau and Benue States, Nigerian actor and activist Mr. Macaroni has stirred national debate by resurfacing old tweets from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu—tweets made nearly a decade ago when Tinubu was in the opposition.

In a powerful response shared via the X platform (formerly Twitter), Mr. Macaroni reposted Tinubu’s 2014 tweet condemning the killings of Christians under the Goodluck Jonathan administration. The original tweet read: “The slaughtering of Christian worshippers is strongly condemnable. It calls to question the competence of Jonathan to protect Nigerians.”

Drawing a parallel to the current situation, Mr. Macaroni wrote: “The slaughtering of Christian worshippers is strongly condemnable. It calls to question the competence of Tinubu to protect Nigerians.”

He also quoted another of Tinubu's 2014 tweets criticizing the then-ruling PDP, replacing it with a scathing remark aimed at the APC: “The entire nation has lost its trust in the ruling party, APC. It is a challenging time, and we have to be very careful.”

Mr. Macaroni’s bold move ignited a storm of reactions on social media, with many Nigerians echoing his sentiments, accusing Tinubu of hypocrisy and inaction. Critics accused the president of falling short on security promises, especially given his past critiques of the previous government.

While some applauded Macaroni for speaking truth to power, others questioned whether reposting old tweets amounted to genuine activism or mere political point-scoring. Nonetheless, the comments section was flooded with outrage, frustration, and calls for accountability, underscoring the deepening public dissatisfaction with the state of national security.
