The singer added that in order to persuade other regions that Nigeria will be safe in the hands of an Igbo man, Obi will need to organise “his home front.”
In response to a Labour Party supporter’s tweet, Brymo said, “Don’t respect my intelligence nor choices… you are trying to not accept a 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 singer in another opinion stated that the Igbo presidency will remain a pipe dream as long as there is talk of Biafra in the South-East.
He also tweeted that he would rather have an ‘ailing president’ than vote Obi.
However, the comments did not go down well with Nigerians as they labelled the musician a tribal bigot and “Igbophobic.”
Below are some Twitter reactions:

An Igbo VP first? So it’s a sin for an igbo to be president. Stick to making muddy tunes and stop disguising bigotry with fake intelligence

You are vividly saying IBOS are second class citizens in their own country? It’s a shame for a youth like you to say that.

“…an Igbo VP first maybe to test the waters with the region…”
Brymo, are Igbos only good to be led?
Why do you have to test the waters with an Igbo VP? Isn’t your tribalism smelling to the high heavens?
