Popular skit maker and comedian, Mr Macaroni, has joined many other stakeholders in commenting on the loud criticism that a youth corps member, Uguamaye, launched against President Bola Tinubu.
In a viral video shared on her TikTok account, she expressed frustration over Nigeria’s worsening economic conditions, lamenting the high inflation and economic hardship.
Uguamaye criticised the President by describing him as a “terrible leader” while questioning the government’s efforts to alleviate the hardship faced by the citizens.
This is as she claimed that Lagos State is a “smelling state” and lamented its “poor living conditions.”
Since her outburst, she has been praised by many while others are admonishing her for been so audacious while still in uniform.
criticised heavily by many and so Macaroni has decided to lend his voice as support for the Corp member.
Macaroni, in a recent tweet, sent a message to the Director General, Coordinators and officials of the National Youth Service Corps asking them that they had no right to threaten any corps member who decides to question the role of the government.
Speaking further, he reminded them that the government is in power because of citizens and so every citizen has the right to question their leader.
His tweet:
“To the DG, Coordinators and every official of the NYSC!!!
You cannot threaten, intimidate or victimise any corper for expressing their view on the performance of the president.
They are citizens with rights! The president is in office to serve the people and every Nigerian, corper or not has the right to hold their Leaders accountable!!!”
The question, however, is: how right is Macaroni on the matter?
Those who are against Ugoamaye’s outbursts say she may have flouted the NYSC rule, although her supporters are asking that such rules be made open.
