Mr. Macaroni Condemns NYSC Over Threats Against Corps Member

Popular Nigerian activist and comedian, Adebowale “Debo” Adedayo, better known as Mr. Macaroni, has strongly criticized the reported threats by the NYSC against a female corps member who spoke out against the economic hardship under President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
In a post on his X handle, Mr. Macaroni called out the NYSC Director-General, State Coordinators, and other officials, insisting that corps members have the right to express their views on governance without fear of intimidation or victimization.
He emphasized that as Nigerian citizens, corps members are entitled to constitutional rights, including the freedom to hold leaders accountable.
According to him, the presidency is a public service position, and every Nigerian, including those in the NYSC, has the right to voice concerns over national issues.
His comments come amid mounting public backlash against the NYSC, following allegations that officials pressured the female corps member to delete her viral video criticizing the government.
Mr. Macaroni’s statement has intensified the pressure on the NYSC leadership, with many Nigerians demanding assurances that corps members will not be unlawfully silenced for exercising their fundamental rights.
Besides Mr Macaroni, broadcast journalist, Rufai Oseni has also criticised the NYSC over the threats against the corps member.
