Popular Nigerian skit maker and activist Mr Macaroni has reacted to backlash from All Progressives Congress (APC) supporters questioning his Yoruba identity because of his opposing political views.
Taking to his X page on May 27, the actor, known for activism, addressed the insults he received for refusing to support APC, Nigeria’s ruling party.
“I like as APC people dey insult and curse Mr Macaroni since yesterday.. Nobody call am bullying! Everybody is having their fun. You can tell lies all you want but the fact remains that I have never attacked or supported anyone to attack others for their political choices”
He wrote

Addressing claims that his stance made him “less Yoruba,” Mr Macaroni didn’t make it clear that his tribe and political stance are not connected.
‘I AM A PROUD YORUBA BOY!!! My ancestry is solid and traceable!!! Something most of you masquerading as Yoruba cannot say! The shame is on those of you who have decided to politicize the Yoruba culture!”
)
The Yoruba heritage will never be enslaved to politics because before APC or any other political party in Nigeria, Yoruba has been and will continue to be even after!
So please feel free to support APC or any other political party of your choice but do not tell me I am not Yoruba enough because I don’t support APC. APC IS NOT YORUBA AND YORUBA IS NOT APC!!! END OF DISCUSSION!
Earlier this month, Mr Macaroni opened up about his love life and why he can’t be with the woman he loves.
Featuring in a recent episode of the Dating In Lagos Show, hosted by Ariyiike Dimple, the skit maker revealed that he has been in love with a lady, but they can’t be with her due to some circumstances.

“I’m a single pringle. I’m single and not searching. If you say dating in Lagos, for me, I can’t really define it. But if it’s by what I have heard or what I’ve seen, dating in Lagos is chaotic, or better put, anarchy,” he said.
“I don’t have any personal experience when it comes to dating in Lagos because I’m not actively dating anymore. I’m not seeing anyone. My past relationship wasn’t even in Lagos. The time I really dated when I was in love, I was still in university then.
“I wouldn’t even say that in Lagos I actively dated anyone. It’s not that I’ve not been in love. There’s someone that I really loved and I still love her but there are a lot of circumstances that cannot make us to be together, a lot of different tests. I don’t want to go into it.
