Nigerian content creator and activist Adebowale Adedayo popularly known as Mr Macaroni has urged FCT Minister, Nyesome Wike to address Nigerians with respect.
In a post shared on his X page, Mr. Macaroni criticized Wike for what he said were rude comments made to the public and demanded that public servants be more humble.
The humour merchant stated that Nigerian politicians lack regard for Nigerians, and this is because they have never been accountable to the people who voted them into power.
He wrote; “Nigerian politicians lack regard for Nigerians, and this is because they have never been accountable to the people. The other day the FCT Minister was addressing some Nigerians and he said; “are you stupid, is it because I came down to talk to you” You are a civil servant!!! What do you mean by “is it because I came down to talk to you” You are talking to the people that pay your salary!!!”

Mr Macaroni further stated in his post on X that the next time any Nigerian politician is addressing the people, they should be reminded that they are speaking to the people they are serving, and not their followers.
“Whatever privileges your office allows you is as a function of your service to the people!!! You work for the people and not the other way round. Arrogance has no place in public office!!! Nigeria is not a private entity. Your duty is to serve!!!
‘‘You are not anybody’s chairman. So next time any Nigerian Politician is addressing the people, please remind them that they are speaking to the people they are serving, not their followers”, he added.
