Popular Nigerian actor and activist Mr Macaroni has slammed supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) who have dragged his name into controversies surrounding celebrities visiting political leaders. In a passionate rant on X (formerly Twitter), he clarified that he has never condemned anyone for associating with politicians and urged people to stop holding him up as a moral benchmark.
“I have said this times without number! I am nobody’s Hero!! I am not a saint!!! Na all of us get our own for body!” he tweeted, emphasizing that his choice not to associate with politicians is a personal preference and does not make others wrong for doing so.
Mr Macaroni accused “APC Rascals” of twisting his stance to attack others and expressed frustration over being repeatedly dragged into political disputes despite declining numerous invitations to political functions at local, state, and federal levels.
He also called out APC trolls for insulting him simply because he is respected by some online, saying, “Na another person talk am but na me dem go start to dey insult… Awon Osinwin dede!!!”
Despite the backlash, Mr Macaroni praised chess champion Tunde Onakoya for his inspiring work and urged Nigerians to focus on building a better country in their own ways.
He concluded by reiterating, “Please again, I am no one’s hero! I am not a saint! I am not the standard… I speak up for what I believe in and not for anyone’s validation. I hope this puts this matter to rest.”
