Nollywood actor, Debo Adedayo, better known as Mr Macaroni, has criticised the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, for hurling insults at some residents of Abuja.
Naija News reported that Wike recently expressed his frustration towards residents of the Lugbe area, accusing them of land grabbing.
Wike had visited the area last Tuesday following reports of protests by residents who allegedly tried to stop the demolition of their properties.
Wearing a blue suit and his signature bowler hat, Wike, visibly angry and surrounded by security personnel, lectured the residents on the proper procedure for acquiring land legally.
“It cannot work. You cannot come to a place and seize land and say it is your own. We will not allow that. If not for lawlessness…” Wike stated in a raspy voice.
He continued, “If you do not know what to do, we will teach you what to do.”
The residents, in response, protested Wike’s assertions, claiming they had legal documents to prove their ownership of the land.
“We are not land grabbers, we are developers. We have papers. We have submitted these papers to the authorities,” they said in unison.
Wike, clearly angered, interrupted them.
“Shut up!” the minister thundered. “Every land in the FCT belongs to the FCT. The supreme court said the area councils do not have that power to allot land. And that was why the area councils came to us to grant them that request.
In a post via his X handle, Mr Macaroni urged Wike to address Nigerian citizens with utmost humility and respect because they pay his salary.
The skit maker also said Wike should never question the sanity of Nigerians, adding that the former governor is not doing anyone a favour for being a Minister.
He wrote, “Dear @GovWike, you are a PUBLIC SERVANT! Next time you want to address the citizens who pay your salary, do so with utmost humility and respect. Never go about asking Nigerians if they are stupid… you are not doing anyone a favor by being Minister!!!
“Is it because I came down to talk to you”
“lol… You must think you are talking to your slave”
