Nigerian actor and content creator, Adebowale Adedayo, widely known as Mr. Macaroni, has reaffirmed his long-standing decision to stay away from politicians across all levels of government.
Reacting to recent comparisons with chess master Tunde Onakoya—who drew criticism for visiting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu—Mr. Macaroni stressed that he has consistently rejected invitations from political figures and remains committed to his principles.
Taking to his X (formerly Twitter) account, he clarified that while he personally chooses not to associate with political leaders, others should not be judged by his standards.
“I have said this times without number! I am nobody’s hero!! I am not a saint!!!” he wrote. “That I don’t care for politicians doesn’t make me the good guy. And it certainly doesn’t make those that do bad. It’s a matter of preference.”
He also addressed what he described as continued attempts by critics, particularly supporters of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), to drag him into controversies.
“And yes to the APC rascals asking: Invitations choke on different levels!!! Local ooo, State ooo, Federal ooo… The list long!” he added. “But I promise, you will continue to cry, weep and gnash your teeth because all will be continuously rejected! There shall be no compromise!”
Mr. Macaroni, known for his social activism and vocal stance on national issues, concluded that while he stands firm in his convictions, his choices should not be used to shame other public figures making different decisions.
