Aftermath of the defeat of the presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu by his Labour Party’s candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, a celebrity, Debo Adedayo, popularly called Mr. Macaroni, has said power is now in the hands of the young people.
Macaroni, a comedian, is one of the celebrities who have shown their support for Labour Party’s candidate in his bid for the presidency.
He said Obi won the election in Lagos in spite of the many cases of violence allegedly visited on the voters.
He said the margin could have been more had thugs who disrupted the exercise on Saturday allowed a free and fair election.
“Despite all the violence and intimidation unleashed in Lagos, Peter Obi has won Lagos State!!! The margin should be way more!!! I just want the people to know that the power is in our hands!!! They said no structure!! They said it is internet noise!!!” he said
Macaroni has been involved in political advocacy in the country and especially in Lagos. With a large following on the social media, he commands a huge audience which serves him to preach message of opposition against the existing political orders.
