Nigerian skit maker cum Nollywood actor, Debo Adebayo, better known as Mr Macaroni, has slammed Nigerian politicians saying they lack respect for Nigerians.
Naturenex reports that Macaroni’s statement comes amidst the controversy online after a member of the House of Representatives from Abia State, Alexander Mascot Ikwechegh, threatened to make a Bolt driver disappear and boasted he will not face any consequences.
Ikwechegh also threatened to beat up the driver and lock him up in his generator house.
In a post on his X handle, Mr Macaroni said politicians lack regard for Nigerians because they have never been accountable to the masses.
The movie star also cited the case of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, who had last week questioned the sanity of some Nigerians while addressing them.
He wrote: “Nigerian politicians lack regard for Nigerians and this is because they have never been accountable to the people.
“The other day the FCT Minister was addressing some Nigerians and he said; “are you stupid, is it because I came down to talk to you”
“You are a civil servant!
“What do you mean by “is it because I came down to talk to you?”
“You are talking to the people that pay your salary!!! Whatever privileges your office allows you is as a function of your service to the people! You work for the people and not the other way round. Arrogance has no place in public office!!!
“Nigeria is not a private entity. Your duty is to serve!!! You are not anybody’s chairman.
“So, next time any Nigerian politician is addressing the people, please remind them that they are speaking to the people they are serving, not their followers.”
