Mr Macaroni Disowns Peter Obi’s Campaign Poster
Nigerian actor and content creator, Mr. Macaroni, has disowned a picture of himself on a campaign rally flyer of Obi-Datti.

The comedian, however, said he will not participate in any campaign for any politician.
“I do not and will not campaign for politicians. I cannot force or beg any Nigerian to vote for a particular candidate,” he had said written.
“But come 2023, the person I will cast my vote for is Peter Obi! And that is final on this matter! Enough is Enough.”
But on Wednesday, a Twitter user had drawn his attention to the campaign flyer with his face on it.
“Thought @mrmacaronii said he wont be campaigning for any party,” the user asked.
Reacting to the tweet, Mr Macaroni distanced himself from the campaign flyer picture, saying it was used without his approval.
“I will address this again for clarity sake. I am voting for Peter Obi because he is MY preferred choice,” he wrote on Twitter.
“It is my civic duty to vote but I’m not obliged to campaign for him or any other Politician. I am not against others who do so but this was put out without my consent!”.
