Nollywood actor and skit maker, Debo Adebayo, popularly known as Mr. Macaroni, has called out the Special Adviser to the President on social media, Dada Olusegun, for allegedly attacking people criticizing the President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
Mr. Macaroni, in a post on his official X handle on Monday, reminded Olusegun of his past criticism of Tinubu.
While stressing that he had no issues with his change of perspective, Mr. Macaroni labelled the President’s aide as an emergency lover of Nigeria, accusing him of partaking in corruption.
The skit maker painted that the agitators against the Tinubu-led administration only want an enabling society that gives all Nigerians a chance to succeed.
He expressed his disappointment in Olusegun for questioning the patriotism of Nigerians despite once being a heavy critic of the President.
“Well in fairness to him, he had a lot to say about President Tinubu too.
You see, I don’t have a problem with someone changing their point of view about people or issues.
“What is annoying is Attacking people for saying the same thing you said years ago!!
That’s what it means to be an emergency lover of Nigeria! It simply shows all you guys ever cared about was a seat at the table, not to make things better but to partake in the corruption!
“Some of us truly love this country! Not because we want a seat at the table but because we want an enabling Society that gives all Nigerians a chance to succeed.
“So, it hurts when characters like this are the ones questioning the patriotism of Nigerians simply because they are holding their Leaders accountable!” Mr. Macaroni wrote.
Attached to the statement were past posts of Olusegun dated back to 2012 when he criticized the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) under the leadership of Tinubu.
“ACN seriously need to up their game. Tinubu will ruin that party.
“ACN is a shop set up by Tinubu, he’s a corrupt man, he’s just a man covered with deceit, he can’t deceive me though…
“I pray for rejuvenation in ACN, the likes of Tinubu are not good for democracy tho” some of the posts had read.
