I’ll vote for Peter Obi
Popular Nigerian actor and comedian, Mr Macaroni has declared his support for the Labour Party (LP) Presidential Candidate, Peter Obi.
The content creator announced on Saturday, November 5th through his official Twitter account that he will vote for Obi in the 2023 presidential election.
Macaroni, however, said he will not be campaigning for the former governor of Anambra state or any other politician vying for office.
He added that he will not force or beg anyone to vote his preferred candidate.
He wrote; ”I do not and will not campaign for Politicians. I cannot force or beg any Nigerian to vote for a particular candidate but come 2023, the person that I will cast my vote for is Peter Obi!!
And that is final on this matter!!
Enough is Enough!!!”

Meanwhile, CorrectNG reported weeks ago that the comic act opened up on whether he would run for any political seat.
Mr Macaroni, who is also a human rights activist, said that at the moment he has no intention of joining politics or running for office.
The content creator made this known in a recent interview while recalling his ordeal at the hands of police officers after that he was arrested in February 2021 during the #OccupyLekkiTollGate protest which was to forestall the planned reopening of the toll plaza in Lagos.
After the #EndSARS protest in October 2020, the Lekki toll gate was closed down as a result of the shooting of peaceful protesters that converged at the location.
According to Macaroni, after he was arrested together with other demonstrators, police took him to the station and stripped them of every clothe they wore.
He explained how the security agents beat him mercilessly, in a bid to ‘teach him a lesson’ for challenging the status quo.
The content creator said the experience made him angrier and it emboldened him to challenge persons in power.
