On Wednesday, the 9th of August, 2023, the Senate President, Senator Godswill Akpabio announced on the floor of the red chamber that “In order to enable all of us to enjoy our holidays, a token has been sent to our various accounts by the Clerk of the National Assembly,”
Expressing his disappointment, Mr. Macaroni criticized the insensitivity of the National Assembly leadership towards the suffering of the Nigerian people. He emphasized that it was disheartening to see the leaders living lavish lifestyles while the citizens struggled to make ends meet.
Furthermore, the comedian highlighted the irony of the situation, stating that the same leaders who were elected to serve the people were now using their positions to enrich themselves. He called for a change in the mindset of the leaders, urging them to prioritize the welfare of the people they were elected to represent.
Mr Macaroni also urged Nigerians to hold their leaders accountable and demand transparency in the use of public funds. He emphasized the need for citizens to actively participate in the political process and ensure that their voices are heard.
However, his colleagues called his attention the statement, that he was speaking on live television.
Akpabio realizing the seriousness of his utterance, quickly announced its withdrawal.
“I withdraw that statement,” he said.
“In order to allow you to enjoy your holiday, the senate president has sent prayers to your mailboxes to assist you to go on a safe journey and return,” Mr Akpabio rephrased the comment, apparently to correct what was considered an embarrassment.
The Senate President has sent very Expensive prayers out of the insufficient blessings of over 200 Million people to himself and his already blessed colleagues at the National Assembly. pic.twitter.com/yoi8fvlsBU
