Nigerian comedian and activist, Mr. Macaroni, has reacted to the threats issued by Lagos State Parks Management Committee Chairman, MC Oluomo, to Igbos ahead of Saturday’s governorship and house of assembly elections.
Mc Olumo, a known supporter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), during a recent meeting with a group of people, warned Igbos planning to vote for other parties other than the APC on Saturday should stay at home.
“Iya Chukwudi, if you know you no wan vote for us, siddon for your house o.” he said in part.
Reacting to this via his Twitter handle, Mr. Macaroni stated that threatening and intimidating voters is unlawful and should be condemned by all.
He also shared a video of Lagos State Commissioner of Police asking residents of the state to hold him accountable and responsible for the safety and protection of voters.
