Nigerian content creator and social activist, Debo Adebayo, popularly known as Mr Macaroni, has accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of harboring some of the country’s most corrupt individuals.
His remarks followed public outrage over President Bola Tinubu’s recent decision to grant clemency to 175 convicted persons, including drug traffickers, human traffickers, illegal miners, and murder convicts.
The presidential pardon, announced last week, has stirred widespread criticism from citizens who described it as a setback to the fight against crime and corruption.
Reacting on social media platform X, a user identified as @DOlusegun condemned the action, writing that civil society organizations should already be protesting such a move “in saner climes.”
Reposting the comment, Mr Macaroni accused the APC of betraying the moral standards it once claimed to uphold. He wrote, “Every evil that the APC once condemned, they now practice and support. APC is a party filled with the most corrupt people, surrounded by the worst sycophants. A marriage of doom and misfortune!”
The comedian’s statement adds to the growing chorus of Nigerians demanding greater accountability from political leaders, especially in the wake of decisions that appear to contradict anti-corruption promises made by the ruling party.
