The Twitter platform in Nigeria was on fire on Thursday over the opinion of Nigerian singer Brymo on Peter Obi and Igbo’s presidency.
Brymo, who is a supporter of Bola Tinubu, noted that it is not wise to elect the former governor of Anambra, Peter Obi, at the moment.
The singer also noted that Obi will have to organize “his home front” to convince other regions that Nigeria will be safe in the hands of an Igbo man.
Brymo aired the opinion while responding to a supporter of Obi who had questioned the singer’s allegiance to Tinubu.
“Personally, I know PO (Peter Obi) is the best suited for Nigeria. In the same vein, I know you’re a very intelligent Artiste and I love your work, so I’ll respect your choice and not project my decisions on you. Just know say if e bad na for all of us and if e good too, na still the same,” the Obi supporter 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,” he wrote on Twitter.

With the comments, Twitter went crazy with Brymo being labelled a tribal bigot and “Igbophobic.”
One Victor Isreal said: “Obasanjo has endorsed Peter Obi. Pa Adebanjo has endorsed Peter Obi. Prominent Yorubas have endorsed Peter Obi. So who’s Brymo to talk down on the Igbos? Why should I be bothered about the support of a man who wore G-strings to promote an album that never sold beyond Unilag.”
