Popular comedian and activist, Adebowale Adedayo, known as Mr Macaroni, has declared he will continue to ignore Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, in future encounters.
On Monday, March 10, 2025, Mr Macaroni addressed criticisms on X (formerly Twitter) regarding his refusal to greet the governor at public events.
He stated, “This is the last time I will address this matter. It is not worth my peace of mind. Since you people won’t stop attacking me because I didn’t greet Governor Sanwoolu, next time I see him, I still won’t greet him. And this time, even if he calls me I won’t answer. You people will cry today, tomorrow and forever!”
This stance stems from Mr Macaroni’s arrest during the #EndSARS protests in 2021, where he was detained at the Lekki toll gate while protesting against police brutality.
In a recent interview, he recalled his ordeal, stating, “I was completely naked. These guys stripped us naked and I was molested.”
