Popular comedian, Debo Adebayo a.k.a Mr Macaroni has slammed Atiku Abubakar, former vice-president, for describing the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as “the best friend Nigeria could have.”
Atiku had in a Twitter thread on Monday stated that when compared with other political parties, the PDP remains the only one that “believes in Nigeria.”
The former presidential candidate also noted that the major opposition party “has much to offer all parts” of the country, while urging Nigerians to keep faith in the PDP.
“The Peoples Democratic Party is the best friend Nigeria could have. All geopolitical zones deserve a political party that believes in Nigeria and not a party that believes otherwise,” he wrote.
“The @OfficialPDPNig has much to offer all parts of Nigeria, and I urge all Nigerians in all zones to keep faith with a party that has kept faith with Nigeria and will be equitable to all.”
The comedian, however, jumped on the comment section of the post to condemn Atiku’s statement. He then argued that the opposition party is not different from the All Progressives Congress (APC).
“The PDP and APC have failed the Nigerian youths woefully!!! All of you belong to the same WhatsApp group!! You were APC yesterday, you are PDP today. Same circle!!! You all led us to where we are today and it is a shame!” he wrote.
