Mr Macaroni Calls Out Wike For Threatening To Shoot Channels TV Host, Seun Okinbaloye

Nigerian skit maker cum Nollywood actor, Debo Adedayo, better known as Mr Macaroni, has criticised the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, over a threat to shoot a Channels Television news anchor, Seun Okinbaloye, following his comment on the possibility of a one-party state in Nigeria.

Naija News reported that during a Thursday edition of Channels Television’s Politics Today programme, Okinbaloye had claimed that the 2027 elections were shaping up as a contest between one political party, owing to the crisis in the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

He added that Nigeria is doomed democratically if the only hope of opposition, ADC, cannot contest the 2027 election.

“I’m particularly very pained because what makes the race very interesting is when it’s competitive and not when only one party stands in the middle of the ballot, and we are looking for the rest of the political parties.

“But we get one of them talking tonight about the state of ADC, particularly, it looks like one of the only hopes of the opposition going into 2027. If this hope is dashed, we are doomed democratically speaking.” Okinbaloye said.

However, speaking on Friday during a media chat in Abuja, the nation’s capital, Wike said Okinbaloye’s comment showed he was taking sides in the crisis rocking the ADC.

Reacting to the development, Mr Macaroni, in a post via his 𝕏 handle on Saturday, berated Wike over the comment.

He wrote, “This is a so-called “serving” Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria saying in a live broadcast that he wished he could have shot and Killed a Nigerian Journalist.

“A country where public servants become tyrants because they know there is no consequence for impropriety.”
