Following the State of Emergency saga in Rivers State, comedian Mark Angel has come under fire for asking residents to steer clear of the ongoing crisis.
Mark Angel noted that people should not get involved in the ongoing political tussle as it is a case of government against the government.
In a now-deleted video, on March 19, the comedian, known for his skits with Emmanuella, opined that the political crisis is as result of personal issues within the government.
“Because they have the power to change anything. Let them change what they want to change. Wetin I wan let you know be say no be your matter be this. We remember we did a lot of jokes about this. Now, e Don happen.
Leave them make them fight their fight. If them say na military wan rule us for 10 years no Wahala. As long as we can come out, do our businesses, eat and progress in society. No go carry another person fight go dey fight,” he warned.
Mark Angel’s comments faced heavy criticism on social media, which led to him deleting the post from his page.
He later made another video addressing the backlash and reiterating his reasons for saying what he said earlier about the political fight being about the government.
