Brymo, a Nigerian artist, has been chastised on Twitter for his remark against the country’s Igbo presidency.
Brymo, who has endorsed Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate for 2023, stated in a tweet on Thursday that having Peter Obi, the former governor of Anambra, as the country’s president is not advisable.
According to the musician, Igbo presidency will remain a pipe dream as long as there is discussion of Biafra in the South East.
“Well… no other tribe appears to have a new country yet… as long as their comments by famous individuals from Igboland about Biafra remain a pipe dream,” he wrote.
“You don’t appreciate my intelligence or choices; you’re trying to avoid accepting resolution; debate more then…” pls …. It is not advisable to vote for him just yet.
“He may have to clearly organize his home-front in order to lead the rest of us, an Igbo VP first perhaps to test the waters with the area is safer.
This assertion infuriated Twitter users, who called him out for making derogatory remarks not only against Peter Obi but also about Igbo people.
“Brymo is a bogus musician,” stated @HeisBriggs. With his songs, he does not practice what he preaches. He dresses up and sings about slavery, but he is the slave himself. He writes intelligently but speaks like a layperson. He’s a phony, so ignore him.
@RayoKasali said, ” If a tribe of 40M+ who produced our first president 60 years ago and the first indigenous head of the military still has to be tested with a VP slot (that they had like 44 years ago,) then what does that say about smaller ethnicities?.
“What does that say about us as a people?.
@Ifyblaze22 said, “I’m not surprised with your tweet about the Igbos. Afterall, you’re the one that wore a G-string to promote your song the other time… 😂 Just smoke your weed in peace my guy.
@Ayaya_is_Ayaya said, “You support Tinubu despite all the revelations about his personality, you are evil 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
