Mr. Macaroni lashes out at Wike 

Nigerian actor and comedian Adebowale Adedayo popularly knowns as Mr. Macaroni has slammed Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Barrister Nyesom Wike following unguided remarks at some of Abuja residents.  The former Rivers State Governor in a viral video was seen addressing the residents in what can be termed as arrogant.  Reacting to the Minister’s behaviour, Mr. Macaroni took to social media to remind him that he’s a Public Servant, saying tax payers are not to be addressed as such.  Mr. Macaroni wrote on his X handle; “Dear @GovWike , you are a PUBLIC SERVANT!  “Next time you want to address the citizens who pay your salary, do so with utmost humility and respect.  “Never go about asking Nigerians if they are stupid… you are not doing anyone a favor by being Minister!!!” The comedian went on to quote Wike as saying; “Is it because I came down to talk to you?” “lol… You must think you are talking to your slaves.” Mr. Macaroni is an advocate for civic empowerment, and most notably was involved in the 2020 #EndSARS movement in Nigeria.
