Petition Preventing Singer`s AFRIMA Win Signed Over Anti Igbo Comments
Over 6,000 Nigerians have signed a petition to nullify Singer, Olawale Ashimi`s win at AFRIMA as a result of his many anti-Igbo remarks. The petition was launched by a Nigerian, who has been identified as Charles Ogundele. Charles urged many Nigerians to sign the petition in a bid to teach Brymo a lesson. It is no longer news that Brymo makes several derogatory remarks about the Igbo via his social media platforms, especially Twitter.
In his most recent post, the singer opined that the Igbo do not deserve to have a claim to the presidency. His comment clearly upset thousands of Nigerians as it has been revealed that over 6,000 have signed the petition.
Ogundele wrote, “Brymo recently put up a series of hateful messages on Twitter toward the Igbo tribe of Nigeria, going as far as retweeting a tweet that said that all Igbos are senseless.”
He added, “In one of his tweets, he wrote “f*ck omo Igbo,” which translates to “f*ck the Igbo people.” “His actions are ones that spark disunity and hatred in a multicultural nation like Nigeria.”
Preventing him from winning the All Africa Music Award would send a strong message to him and people like him that he can`t get away with such blatant ethnic bigotry
