Actor and comedian Debo Adedayo, popularly known as Mr Macaroni, has described politicians who habitually steal from the country as hardened criminals.
He stated that these individuals lack shame, integrity, and accountability for their actions.
In a post shared on X, Macaroni lamented some Nigerian politicians who have stolen and continue to steal billions and trillions from the nation’s purse.
Macaroni questioned how Nigeria will progress with politicians who seek office just to loot.
He wrote, “Nigerian politicians have stolen and are still stealing billions and trillions from the nation’s purse. Unfortunate enough as it is that there are zero consequences for these actions, it is torturous that the people whose treasury are being looted continue to defend politicians who absolutely do not care about their existence.”
“How can you comfortably loot public funds enough to change the standard of living of millions of the people you ought to serve selflessly? What type of greed and wickedness is this? How exactly is the country supposed to get better when our politicians just want to steal!!! No integrity!!! No sense of purpose!! No accountability!!! Zero shame!!! Just hardened criminals in office!!! How did the people become so hopeless?”
His comment comes after the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) announced on Monday, December 2, 2024, that Justice Jude Onwuegbuzie of the Federal Capital Territory High Court had ordered the final forfeiture of an estate measuring 150,500 square metres at Plot 109, Cadastral Zone C09, Lokogoma District, Abuja, to the federal government.
The EFCC described the estate, which consists of 753 duplexes and other apartments, as the "single largest asset recovery" since its inception in 2003.
It was discovered that in the commission's statement, it referred to the estate owner only as a "former top brass of the government."
However, Nigerians believe that the "former top brass" and owner of the forfeited estate is Godwin Emefiele, the former Central Bank Governor.
