Mr Macaroni Blasts Senate Over Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s Suspension, Criticizes Lack of Accountability
Popular comedian and activist Mr Macaroni has strongly condemned the suspension of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan by the Senate, calling out Senate President Godswill Akpabio and the entire legislative body for their abuse of power.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Mr Macaroni expressed deep frustration over the lack of accountability in Nigeria, emphasizing how the misuse of power has created an environment where leaders face little to no consequences for their actions.
"Nigeria Lacks Law and Order" — Mr Macaroni
In his post, he stated:
“It’s not as if these countries that we call ‘saner climes’ are not corrupt oo. The difference between these countries and Nigeria is the sense of accountability at the very least. In Nigeria, there is no regard for law and order.”
He further criticized the widespread impunity in governance, from the Senate to security agencies, lamenting how power and money shield the guilty from facing justice.
“From the impunity in the Senate to the shamelessness and abuse of power by security agents, to the total lack of regard for the Nigerian people, everyone is free to act as irresponsibly as they wish so far they have power or money.”
"Zero Consequence for Actions"
Mr Macaroni, known for his vocal stance on social justice, pointed out that Nigeria’s biggest problem is not just corruption but the lack of consequences for wrongdoing.
“The rot in this country will continue to eat deep because no matter the gravity of the offence you commit or the amount of Nigerian lives that are at risk because of the reckless behaviour of a few, money, power and influence will wash the guilty as white as snow.”
The Bigger Picture: A Systemic Issue?
His remarks resonate with many Nigerians who feel justice is only served based on power and influence. Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s suspension is seen by some as a political move to silence opposition voices, further fueling concerns about democracy and fairness in governance.
With public trust in the government at an all-time low, Mr Macaroni’s statements highlight a broader issue of systemic failures, where laws exist only for the powerless, while the powerful remain untouchable.
Will There Be a Response?
As of now, neither the Senate nor Akpabio has responded to Mr Macaroni’s criticism. However, the suspension of Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan continues to generate heated discussions about democracy, accountability, and abuse of power in Nigeria.
What are your thoughts? Is Mr Macaroni right, or is this just another case of political controversy? 🤔🔥
