Brymo Advocates Igbo Presidency, Speaks on Insecurity and Tinubu’s Leadership
Nigerian singer and songwriter Brymo has shared his views on Nigeria’s political future, calling for greater consideration of an Igbo presidency while also addressing the country’s ongoing security challenges.
Speaking during an interview with Yanga FM Lagos, the outspoken musician argued that it may be time for Nigeria to embrace leadership from the South-East as part of efforts to strengthen national unity and heal longstanding divisions.
According to Brymo, meaningful reconciliation among Nigeria’s diverse ethnic groups requires a willingness to move beyond historical grievances and create opportunities for broader political inclusion.
During the conversation, he expressed concern over rising insecurity in different parts of the country, claiming that some groups have historically used violence and unrest as leverage in political negotiations.
He said:
“I think it is high time for Igbo presidency. It is time for Nigeria to start considering Igbo presidency. Let’s let go of the past and reconcile our differences and unit as a nation. But how will we get there if the South-east is also slowly descending into chaos? Anytime any group in Nigeria wants presidency, they will start militancy. That is what is going on. If you want presidency, start kidnapping and insecurity. One of the reasons I like President Bola Tinubu is because 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?”
Brymo’s comments have since sparked discussions online, particularly his position on an Igbo presidency and his assessment of how insecurity intersects with political ambitions in different regions of the country.
The singer, known for frequently sharing his opinions on national issues, has often used interviews and social media platforms to contribute to conversations surrounding governance, identity, and the future of Nigeria.
His latest remarks add to the ongoing national debate about political inclusion, security, and the type of leadership many Nigerians hope to see emerge in the years ahead.
