- Mr Macaroni said that politicians have never been accountable to the Nigerians.
- He cited the FCT Minister as an instance, whom he claimed asked if some Nigerians were stupid while addressing them.
Social activist and popular skit maker, Mr Macaroni, has spoke out about the lack of respect Nigerian politicians have for their citizens.
This statement comes after a disturbing incident involving Alexander Mascot Ikwechegh, a member of the House of Representatives from Abia State, who threatened an Uber driver with violence.
Mr Macaroni in reaction, emphasized that politicians’ disregard stems from their lack of accountability to the people.
He pointed to the FCT Minister’s condescending remarks, questioning the intelligence of some Nigerians, as a prime example.
Mr Macaroni wrote:
“Nigerian politicians lack regard for Nigerians and this is because they have never been accountable to the people.
“The other day the FCT Minister was addressing some Nigerians and he said; “are you stupid, is it because I came down to talk to you”
“You are a civil servant!
“What do you mean by “is it because I came down to talk to you?”
You are talking to the people that pay your salary!!! Whatever privileges your office allows you is as a function of your service to the people! You work for the people and not the other way round. Arrogance has no place in public office!!!
“Nigeria is not a private entity. Your duty is to serve!!! You are not anybody’s chairman.
“So, next time any Nigerian politician is addressing the people, please remind them that they are speaking to the people they are serving, not their followers.”
Meanwhile, VeryDarkMan has taken legal action against Abia Rep member, Ikwechegh, over assault on Bolt driver.
This brazen display of power has had many calling for accountability, and VeryDarkMan is taking the lead.
Known for his fearless approach to justice, VDM,vaccording to reports, has filed a formal petition against Ikwechegh, raising the stakes and drawing attention to the serious nature of these allegations.
The petition, signed by activist lawyer Deji Adeyanju, accuses the lawmaker of grave misconduct, including abuse of power, physical assault, attempted murder, and threats to life.
