Nollywood actor-turned-politician, Yul Edochie, has sparked widespread reactions online after calling out Igbos who publicly attack their fellow kinsmen for supporting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election ambition.
In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday, Edochie strongly criticised those who condemn South-East supporters of the president, describing them as “monkeys and cowards.”
“Any Igbo man that is dragging his fellow Igbo man for supporting President Tinubu, that person is a monkey and a coward,” he wrote.
Edochie argued that many of those who criticise Tinubu supporters in the South-East often fail to apply the same energy when it comes to people from other regions who openly support the president.
He challenged such critics to show evidence of them confronting Tinubu supporters from the South-West and Northern Nigeria.
“Show me a video of you dragging Yorubas who are supporting Tinubu. Show me a video of you dragging Northerners who are supporting Tinubu. Show me a video of you dragging all the past leaders who couldn’t fix Nigeria. Show me a video of you dragging Northern celebrities that support Tinubu. None,” he added.
Meanwhile, reports indicate that President Tinubu’s “City Boy” movement is already gaining momentum across the country, including in the South-East. Influential figures such as Obi Cubana are said to be playing key roles in mobilising support within the region.
