Nigerian actor and activist Mr Macaroni has once again made headlines, reaffirming his decision not to publicly acknowledge Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, despite facing significant online backlash.

Mr Macaroni, who is widely known for his vocal stance on social and political issues in Nigeria, swiftly responded to the criticism. Taking to social media, he made it clear that he had no intention of engaging with Governor Sanwo-Olu, reinforcing his position with a post written in Yoruba.

The outspoken actor and activist’s response has sparked a heated debate online, with many supporting his bold stance while others have criticized him for not acknowledging the governor. Mr Macaroni’s refusal to engage with the Lagos State governor has once again spotlighted the growing divide between Nigeria’s political leaders and activists advocating for change.

Mr Macaroni’s decision to speak out has fueled ongoing conversations about political accountability and the role of public figures in holding leaders accountable for their actions. As the situation continues to unfold, many are closely watching the developments between the Nigerian actor and the Lagos State Governor.

In response to a tweet, Mr Macaroni wrote in Yoruba: O ni jere! Olofo! Ko ni ragba fun e! Eleda mi a ba mi fi iya je e!!! O le ma je nisiyin, igba kugba ti yo je, Eleda mi a fi iya je e!!! The reason for this beautiful prayer I have sent to you is between us. I’ll leave it at that.

E ye do ara yin Eyin people yi. No part of me wishes to fraternize with Governor Sanwoolu. I don’t have anything against anyone who associates with him. So why won’t you people leave me alone?? I dey my own since all these days!! Na una start am oooo! Ok!

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 Sanwoolu, I still won’t greet him the next time I see him. And this time, even if he calls me, I won’t answer. You people will cry today, tomorrow and forever!
