Popular Nigerian skitmaker and activist Adebowale Adedayo who is popularly known as Mr Macaroni, has reignited political discourse on social media after replying to a series of old tweets made by President Bola Tinubu in 2014, during the Goodluck Jonathan administration.
The tweets, originally posted when Tinubu was a vocal opposition leader under the All Progressives Congress (APC), criticised the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) over issues of national trust, security, and leadership competence.
Mr Macaroni reworded and reposted the same tweets, only replacing the PDP and Jonathan’s names with APC and Tinubu’s, to highlight what many see as similar or worsening issues under the current administration.
One of Tinubu’s tweets from September 24, 2014 read, “The entire nation has lost its trust in the ruling party, PDP. It is a challenging time and we have to be very careful.”
Mr Macaroni responded with a mirrored post, “The entire nation has lost its trust in the ruling party, APC. It is a challenging time and we have to be very careful.”
He also referenced another 2014 tweet where Tinubu condemned attacks on Christian worshippers and questioned then-President Jonathan’s competence.
“The slaughtering of Christian worshippers is strongly condemnable. It calls to question the competence of Jonathan to protect Nigerians,” Tinubu tweeted in 2014.
Mr Macaroni responded with nearly identical wording, questioning President Tinubu’s ability to protect Nigerians amid ongoing insecurity in parts of the country.
“The slaughtering of Christian worshippers is strongly condemnable. It calls to question the competence of Tinubu to protect Nigerians.”
Tinubu had also tweeted in 2014, “Nigeria’s security situation is precarious, Nigerians are tired of excuses and explanations. They want protection for their lives and property.”
In reaction, Mr Macaroni retweeted, “Nigeria’s security situation is precarious Nigerians are tired of excuses and explanations. They want protection for their lives and property.”
