Mr Macaroni made the statement amid widespread outrage over the presidential pardon recently granted by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to 175 convicted criminals, including drug barons, human traffickers, illegal miners, and murderers.
The controversial pardon, which sparked massive backlash on social media, has been condemned by civil society groups and Nigerians who accused the government of undermining justice and accountability.
Reacting to a post by X user @DOlusegun, who wrote, “In saner climes, civil society organizations should be on the streets protesting pardon of the criminal alams by now,” Mr Macaroni reposted the message, adding a scathing criticism of the APC.
In his response, the comedian-turned-activist 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!”
Mr Macaroni’s statement has since gone viral, drawing thousands of reactions from Nigerians who echoed his sentiments about corruption, hypocrisy, and declining transparency in governance.
The activist, known for his outspoken stance against bad governance and police brutality, accused the ruling party of betraying the very ideals it once claimed to defend.
His remarks come amid mounting criticism of the Tinubu administration’s clemency decision, which many see as a setback to Nigeria’s anti-corruption efforts and a dangerous precedent for future cases.
As of press time, the APC leadership had not officially responded to Mr Macaroni’s comments.

However, political analysts say the backlash underscores growing public frustration with what many describe as a widening trust deficit between the government and citizens.
