Mr Macaroni, a popular Nigerian activist and actor, has recently criticised Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, regarding his response to the recent hardship faced by Lagosians. Travel guides
This outburst occured as a response to the closure of the Independence Bridge.
Taking to his X account, Mr Macaroni stated that addressing the struggles of citizens is not a favour but a duty that comes with the office of being a Governor.
“The Governor is not doing anyone a favour by addressing the hardship Lagosians are facing. It is his responsibility!!! Most people have been conditioned to accept the barest minimum from politicians, and that is why there is zero accountability to the people.” He said.
He went on to speak on the benefits government officials enjoy at the expense of taxpayers, stating that they should be fully committed to serving the people.
” Sir @jidesanwoolu, the people pay for your nice convoy, your security, your accommodation and every other luxury your office affords you. All of these and many more make things very easy and enjoyable for you such that you never have to deal with the pain and hardship the people suffer. The least you can do is to serve them with utmost respect and total commitment! They don’t deserve anything less!!!” Macaroni stated.
The closure of the Independence Bridge on the 2nd of April 2025, resulted in massive gridlock in the state, leaving many commuters stranded for hours. The Governor later addressed the public, which sparked more conversations about the government’s handling of infrastructure and public services. The bridge however was later opened by the Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi, the next day.
