Controversial Nigerian recording artiste, Olawale Olofooro, better known as Brymo, has said it is high time Nigeria considered an Igbo presidency.
Brymo, who was lambasted during the 2023 presidential campaign for his anti-Igbo presidency remarks, said it is time for Nigerians to “let go of the past” and embrace reconciliation.

He, however, warned that insecurity in the South-East might affect Igbo presidency, claiming that several groups in Nigeria have weaponised insecurity as a tool for political bargaining.
He praised President Bola Tinubu, claiming that he stopped the South-west security outfit, Amotekun, from spiralling into a separatist group.
Speaking in a recent interview with Yanga FM Lagos, Brymo said, “I think it is high time for Igbo presidency. It is time for Nigeria to start considering an Igbo presidency. Let’s let go of the past, reconcile our differences, and unite as a nation.
“But how will we get there if the Southeast is also slowly descending into chaos? Anytime any group in Nigeria wants the presidency, they will start militancy. That is what is going on. If you want the presidency, start with kidnapping and insecurity.
“One of the reasons I like President Bola Tinubu is that he stopped Amotekun from taking off. He didn’t support it. Imagine if Yorubas have Amotekun active, South-eastern insecurity active, Boko Haram active, and South-south militants active, do we still have a country?”
