By Oluwapelumi Oluwayemi

Popular comedian and activist, Mr Macaroni, has strongly criticized Senate President Godswill Akpabio and the Nigerian Senate over the suspension of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.

Taking to social media platform X, the comedian lamented the lack of accountability in the country, stating that those in power often act with impunity without facing consequences.

“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 wrote.

Mr Macaroni further condemned the abuse of power by security agencies and politicians, blaming the nation’s systemic problems on the absence 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,” he added.
