Businessman Isaac Fayose has challenged the common narrative that Nigeria is owned by three main tribes - the Hausas, Igbos, and Yorubas.

He argued this notion is misleading, pointing out that since Nigeria's return to democracy in 1999, no Igbo individual has held the positions of President or Vice President.

Fayose emphasised that only leaders from the Hausas and Yorubas have occupied the highest offices in the country.

‘’They said Nigeria belongs to Hausa, Igbos, Yoruba. Since when I know, they would say Nigeria is Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba but since 1999 wey democracy don come back, Igbos they have not allowed them to be President. They always push them ‘ go to your village’'

"They have said they want to go but they have not allowed them to go. They said if them talk Biafra, na bad language them dey talk. We accept but how can you say Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba and since 1999, Igbo man cannot be president. Since 1999, Igbo man cannot be Vice President. And you say we are one, Wazobia. Wazobia kor, Wazobia ni''

He went on to say that an Igbo man, Peter Obi, who tried to contest for the presidency in the last election and gathered quite a lot of votes, was rigged out.
