Thousands of people and even his fans are not with him on this one as the statements are quite demeaning and rude and have been termed tribalistic.

Brymo who has been a strong open supporter of the APC presidential claims that the Igbo tribe of the nation are not ready to take over the mantle of leadership.

The petitioner, Charles Ogundele wrote:

Brymo recently put up a series of hateful messages on Twitter toward the Igbo tribe of Nigeria, going as far as retweeting a tweet which said that all Igbos are senseless. In one of his tweets, he wrote “f*ck omo Igbo”, which translates to “f*ck the Igbo people.” His actions are ones which spark disunity and hatred in a multicultural nation that Nigeria is. Preventing him from wining the All Africa Music Award would send a strong message to him, and people like him, that he can’t get away with such blatant ethnic bigotry.

If the petition is fully signed, it could be the end of the road for the “Oleku” singer and also serve as a positive reference for the possibilities of such behaviour happening in the near future.
