Social activist and comedian, Debo Adebayo, popularly known as Mr Macaroni, expressed his belief that Nigerian politicians do not value the wellbeing of Nigerians, as they have never been held accountable for their actions.
This statement stems from a recent incident involving a House of Representatives member threatening to harm an Uber driver.
Mr Macaroni highlighted the lack of accountability in politicians’ behavior, referencing a situation where the FCT Minister allegedly questioned the intelligence of Nigerians.
Mr Macaroni 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.”
