Mr Macaroni Reveals Why He Would Snub Gov Sanwo-Olu Again Despite Criticism

Nigerian actor and content creator Adebowale Adedayo, better known as Mr Macaroni, has responded to criticism for refusing to greet Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, at a recent public event.

In a series of posts on X on Monday, Mr Macaroni dismissed the backlash, making it clear that even if given another chance, he still wouldn’t acknowledge the governor.

He wrote, “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.”

The comedian, who is a vocal advocate for good governance and human rights, criticized Nigerians who defend politicians rather than holding them accountable for the country’s economic struggles.

“The people are suffering! The price of everything is up. Instead of you people to hold your leaders accountable, you are busy kissing their bumbum,” he said.

He also accused some people of hypocrisy, suggesting that certain government critics secretly seek financial favors from the same politicians they publicly condemn.

Mr Macaroni wrote. “Some people called out their state governors every day, then went behind closed doors to collect envelopes to become praise singers. It hurts them when they see that not everyone is for sale.”

Speaking on political loyalty, Mr Macaroni expressed concern over how some Nigerians blindly defend politicians, saying it contributes to the country’s problems.

“These people have no honour, no code, no respect or dignity whatsoever. They have become slaves to the servants of the people. This is why Nigeria is the way Nigeria is. The people worship and defend their oppressors,” he wrote.

Despite the constant attacks on his character, the actor stood firm on his beliefs, saying he would not compromise his values.

He said, “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.”

The comedian wrapped up his comments by condemning tribal divisions in Nigerian politics, urging people to resist using ethnicity as a tool for division.

“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 concluded.

KanyiDaily recalls that comedian Seyi Law slammed Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu for ignoring him and begging Mr Macaroni for a handshake.
