Nigerian actor and comedian Mr. Macaroni responded to news that Bola Tinubu, a two-term governor of Lagos and presidential candidate for the All Progressives Congress, lost the state to Labour Party candidate Peter Obi.
In order to overcome Bola Tinubu, who received 572,606 votes, the former governor of the state of Anambra received a total of 582,354 votes.
Mr. Macaroni reacted to Obi’s victory by saying that the Labour Party won despite the violence and intimidation that were unleashed in Lagos.

He tweeted;
“Despite all the violence and intimidation unleashed in Lagos, Peter Obi has won Lagos State!!! The margin should be way more!!! I just want the people to know that the power is in our hands!!! They said no structure!! They said it is internet noise!!! LESSONS!!!!!”
