Popular social activist and skit maker, Debo Adebayo, better known as Mr Macaroni, has said that Nigerian politicians have no care for Nigerians.
According to him, this is because they have never been held accountable to the public.
The declaration comes after Alexander Mascot Ikwechegh, a member of the Abia State House of Representatives, vowed to make an Uber driver disappear from Nigeria.
The representative reportedly threatened to attack the cab driver and lock him up in his generator home.
However, in a post on his X account, Mr Macaroni stated that politicians have never been accountable to Nigerians.
He used the FCT Minister as an example, whom he claimed asked if some Nigerians were stupid while addressing them.
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.”
