Mr. Macaroni, the skit-maker, has disowned a picture of himself on a campaign rally flyer of Obi-Datti.
Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party
(LP), and Datti Baba-Ahmed, his running mate, have been campaigning across
Nigeria ahead of this month’s election.
In November 2022, the skit maker endorsed Obi as his
presidential candidate of choice.
The comedian, however, said he will not participate in any
campaign for any politician.
“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.
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! https://t.co/O1Y2Xs36mq

The development comes a few weeks after Wizkid also
dissociated himself from a
rumoured Obi concert.
Some other popular musical artistes have also openly
declared their support for Obi.
Charly Boy had endorsed Obi
as his presidential candidate for 2023.
Peter and Paul Okoye of Psquare, the music duo, have
also pledged their
support for the former Anambra governor.
