Following the outcome of the Saturday, February 25th, 2023 Presidential and National Assembly elections that produced the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu as the winner, Nigerian skit star and activist, Mr Macaroni has advised the youths to shun violence.
Debo Adedayo, popularly known as Mr Macaroni, said; “I know how some of you must feel, I know we are not happy with the way INEC conducted the elections in certain areas.”
“But the president-elect has been declared, and any aggrieved candidate can go to court but don’t let anybody use you. The youths must remain as one.”
“Don’t die for any politician, don’t let any politician use you as a tool. They are friends, and the youth can have their choice, but politicians will be politicians.”
“Anyone telling you as a Yoruba man to attack your Igbo brother or my Igbo brothers is telling you to attack Hausas, Yorubas or any other tribe somewhere, my brother, please don’t.”
Mr Macaroni gave the advise on Wednesday, March 1st, 2023 during a meeting with the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, CP Idowu Owohunwa who hosted Macaroni and music rapper, Folarin Falana a.k.a Falz amongst other stakeholders to address security concerns within the state ahead of the forthcoming governorship election.
