Brymo under fire over remark on Igbo presidency

Singer, Brymo has received backlash from Twitter users for his comment on Igbo presidency in the country.

Brymo, who is a known supporter of Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), said on Thursday, that it is not advisable to have Peter Obi, the former governor of Anambra as the president of the country.

In a tweet, the singer noted that Igbo presidency will remain a pipe dream as long as the talks about Biafra in the South East still lingers on.

He said, Peter Obi will be a good fit as a vice president than a president.

He wrote,

“Well.. no other tribe seems to have a new country yet… as long as their talks by prominent people from Igboland about Biafra an Igbo presidency will be a pipe dream.

“Don’t respect my intelligence nor choices… you are trying to not accept resolve… argue more then… pls …. It is not prudent to elect him yet, he may have to vividly organise his home-front to lead rest of us… an Igbo VP first maybe to test the waters with the region is safer!”

Some Twitter users disagreed with the singer as social media users called him out over his remarks against both Peter Obi and the Igbo community.

Below are some tweets

It is not prudent to elect him yet, he may have to vividly organise his home-front to lead rest of us… an Igbo VP first maybe to test the waters with the region is safer! https://t.co/Uyk1AzVX5x

One would expect better from you.

“First, no group is faultless. It is not right for us to be sanctimonious, seeing ourselves as saints & the rest as devils incarnate.

Such derogatory attitude & mindset do not build any human institution, let alone a nation.” - Obasanjo.

The funny part of the whole write-up is that, the first person that gave @BrymOlawale his first music deal is an IGBO man. He actually cleaned Ibrahim up before the move to Chocolate City.
I know him from way back Okokomaiko!

Please kindly let us know why it’s not prudent to elect Obi yet? Last I know, Obi was a governor for 8 yrs and Asiwaju also did same 8 yrs. What’s ur yardstick to think Obi shld start from VP rather than the president? Obi antecedent speaks for him, he is as qualified as Asiwaju.

You support Tinubu despite all the revelations about his personality, you are ev!l and probably a criminal like him. I have absolutely no respect for you. I love how the 2023 elections have exposed a lot of you, I love it so somebody will not be stanning mad artists.
