Nollywood actor and skit maker, Mr Macaroni, has advised Nigerians to run from Prophet Oladele and other religious leaders who advocate voting based on ethnicity.
Mr Macaroni was reacting to comments made by Prophet Oladele in a video, where he stated that he can’t vote for anyone who is not a Yoruba man, further saying he wasn’t afraid of the potential backlash to his statement.
The Quest Times reports that Prophet Oladele said he is not a “bastard” that he will abandon his kinsman, stating his unequivocal support for the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Responding to Prophet Oladele, Macaroni said his statement indicates that there is serious fire on the mountain, advising Nigerians to steer clear of such individuals.

“Dear Nigerians, if your religious leader is asking you to abandon all the qualities of a good leader and vote for the next President of this Nation just because you are from the same tribe as the candidate, then there is serious fire on the mountain. RUN!! Vote Wisely,” Mr Macaroni tweeted.
“You do business across tribes because it favors you. You don’t care who you buy your house or car from, you don’t care who you transact with as long as you make money or you get service. It’s election time and you suddenly remember the candidate must be from your tribe.
“Supporters of all political candidates must realize the danger in using tribalism as a campaign strategy. If it is tribe over competence, then go and campaign to be the leader of your tribe and not President of Nigeria which consists of many tribes! We want a President for all!“
