Brymo’s recent tweet about his vision for the political future of the Igbos created such a stir that he was labeled a ‘bigot’ in his Wikipedia profile.
The term ‘bigot’ has been added to Brymo’s Wikipedia profile following an alleged offensive comment about Igbos.

Before the 2023 presidential election, Brymo stated that the Igbos must organize their homefront in order to lead the rest of the country. He added that the safest option for the Igbos at the moment is to vie for the position of Vice President of Nigeria to “test the waters”.
His tweet read;
“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!”

The tweet led to an outcry on social media as many accused him of bigotry and not setting the same standard for politicians from other regions.
Igbos have really suffered in Nigeria, the other day it was Atiku who said he’s the stepping stone to a South East Presidency when an Igbo man is clearly on the ballot.
Maybe Brymo is too dull to realize that an Igbo man, Alex Ekueme was VP in 1979. https://t.co/jhs5nTgFoI

Be wary of educated tribal bigots like Brymo. They are very dangerous to the society.
They are blaming Peter Obi for the insecurity in the South East but they aren’t blaming Atiku for the insurgency in the North East.

With tribal bigots like Brymo, Nigeria can never be one. It’s such a shame. What offence did the Igbos ever commit to warrant this level of hate? https://t.co/wFrTEfoft8

Nobody cares about Brymo’s political choices. It’s his fundamental human right. But if he has to denigrate the Igbos to market his candidate then that’s unacceptable. Peter Obi is a force that reckons with every tribe and neither Brymo nor his unblown music career can stop it 📌
