Again, Brymo Apologizes Over Anti-Igbo Remarks

Nigerian singer Brymo, on Monday issued another public apology for his anti-Igbo comments deriding the prospects of the South-East producing a Nigerian president.

Recall that Brymo had come under fire after he said an Igbo presidency would only be a “pipe dream” due to the agitation for Biafra from prominent people in the region.

“As long as there (are) talks by prominent people from Igboland about Biafra, an Igbo presidency will be a pipe dream,” Brymo tweeted.

Brymo, a supporter of the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, also urged southeasterners to test the waters with the vice presidential slot before aiming for the presidency.

However, in the early hours of Monday, he tweeted another apology saying, “Forgive my assertions that came across as bigoted spewings against the Igbo tribe, I did not mean to do harm, I am sorry!!”

Recall that Brymo earlier issued an apology via his Instagram on Friday night.

Going live on the social media platform, he said the issue started after he shared his opinion about author, Chimamanda Adichie, refusing national honours but accepting a chieftaincy title in her hometown, Abba, Anambra State.

Apologising, he said, “I did not insult the tribe, I am sorry to anyone who it sounded as such to. I was trying to weigh into a very important matter.”
