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`s via his social media platforms, especially Twitter.
In his most recent post, the singer opined that the Igbo`s 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
