Popular comedian and activist, Debo Adedayo, also known as Mr. Macaroni, has voiced concerns about the lack of respect shown by Nigerian politicians toward citizens, which he attributes to their lack of accountability.
Citing a recent incident involving the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Macaroni criticized the Minister’s tone when addressing Nigerians.
Taking to his Twitter handle, Macaroni said, “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.
He added, “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.”
