Skit maker, Debo Macaroni says he’s being threatened for not supporting presidential candidate

Debo Macaroni, a renowned skit maker and Nollywood actor, has revealed that he has been receiving threats for refusing to support a certain presidential candidate.

The comic actor who has been receiving positive remarks for speaking against the underwhelming performance for the government mentioned that threats have been made against him and his family by supporters of a certain presidential candidate because they believe he is against their choice.

Macaroni published this in a thread via his Twitter platform on Sunday afternoon.

According to him, Nigerians must elect the most suitable candidates to occupy various leadership positions in the country.

Speaking via his verified Twitter platform, Macaroni noted that Nigerians must individually analyse the available candidates by “examining their past records, their current state of mind, their capacity and capability vis-à-vis the respective positions they wish to occupy”.

He wrote, “I went to visit my mother 2 weeks ago. I was giving out money to some people in the neighborhood as I always do anytime I go home. A woman walked up to me and asked why I am against a particular candidate.. I said I am not against anyone. All I want is for a better country.

“And that can only happen when we vote for good leaders. The next thing she said is that I should better watch myself because they know where my people live. I asked if that was a threat and she continued saying all sorts. My sister and manager were with me and I have a video!

“I can go on and on about different threats that I have received from some party members or supporters of a presidential candidate because they somehow believe that I am against their choice. Cyber bullying via different online attacks and tribal propaganda.

“There is so much dishonesty going on and it gets worse by the day. But my messaging will never change! Nigerians have suffered enough!!! Look around you and look at the serious challenges we are facing as a people.

“There’s no Messiah anywhere! However, to stand a chance for a better Nation come 2023, we must elect the most suitable options to occupy positions of leadership in the country. We must individually analyze these candidates by examining their past records, their current state of mind, their capacity and capability; Vis-à-vis the respective positions they wish to occupy.

“Do your research and vote for the right candidates. I rest my case. For now!”
