Mr Macaroni distance self from LP Lagos campaign

The skit’s creator, Mr. Macaroni, has denied appearing in a photo of himself on an Obi-Datti campaign rally leaflet.

Prior to this month’s election, Datti Baba-Ahmed and Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s (LP) presidential candidate, have been canvassing Nigeria.

The sketch creator declared Obi to be his preferred candidate for president in November 2022.

The comedian, though, declared he would not support any political candidate.

“I do not and will not campaign for politicians. I cannot force or beg any Nigerian to vote for a particular candidate,” he had said written.

“But come 2023, the person I will cast my vote for is Peter Obi! And that is final on this matter! Enough is Enough.”

But on Wednesday, a Twitter user had drawn his attention to the campaign flyer with his face on it.

“Thought @mrmacaronii said he won be campaigning for any party,” the user asked.

Reacting to the tweet, Mr Macaroni distanced himself from the campaign flyer picture, saying it was used without his approval.

“I will address this again for clarity sake. I am voting for Peter Obi because he is MY preferred choice,” he wrote on Twitter.

“It is my civic duty to vote but I’m not obliged to campaign for him or any other Politician. I am not against others who do so but this was put out without my consent!”
