Popular skit maker and activist Mr. Macaroni has strongly condemned the Nigerian Senate’s decision to suspend Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, calling it an example of the unchecked impunity that plagues the country’s leadership.
In a scathing post on X (formerly Twitter), the outspoken comedian criticized the lack of accountability in Nigeria’s corridors of power.
He argued that while corruption exists in other nations, the key difference is that those societies at least maintain a sense of accountability—something he believes is missing in Nigeria.
Mr. Macaroni’s Statement:
🔹 “It’s not as if these countries that we call ‘saner climes’ are not corrupt oo. The difference between these countries and Nigeria is the sense of accountability at the very least. In Nigeria, there is no regard for law and order.”
🔹 “From the impunity in the Senate to the shamelessness and abuse of power by security agents, to the total lack of regard for the Nigerian people, everyone is free to act as irresponsibly as they wish so far they have power or money.”
🔹 “The real problem we have is the zero consequence for actions. The rot in this country will continue to eat deep because no matter the gravity of the offense you commit or the amount of Nigerian lives that are at risk because of the reckless behavior of a few, money, power, and influence will wash the guilty as white as snow.”
Mr. Macaroni’s remarks have sparked widespread reactions, with many Nigerians echoing his concerns over political impunity and abuse of power in the country.
