Popular skit maker and activist, Debo Adedayo (Mr Macaroni) has reacted to video of Prophet Israel Oladele of the Celestial Church of Christ, Genesis Global parish advising his church members to vote based on tribal sentiments in the coming 2023 presidential elections.
Oladele was captured in a video expressing his support for Bola Tinubu, the flag bearer of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2023 presidential election because he is Yoruba, the same tribe he belongs.
The cleric stated ignoring his tribe man to cast a vote for another would portray him as a bastard which he isn’t.
“I cannot be a Yoruba boy and vote for Igbo boy. I will vote for Tinubu, I support Tinubu. Take it or not, I don’t care,” he said.
He challenged his critics to attack him for his choice of candidate if they wished but stated he didn’t care or fear their anticipated actions.

Reacting to the viral clip, the 29-year-old Mr Macaroni advised Nigerians to run from any religious leader asking them to vote for the country’s next president solely on tribal grounds.
“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.
