Popular artiste, Brymo, has clarified his recent comment on Igbos.
He says he has nothing against Igbo presidency in a tweet in which he also apologised to whoever is offended.
He had been alleged to have used ‘stupid’ in his comment but he says his perspective has been misunderstood, just as thousands have signed a petition against him to stop him at the All Africa Music Award.
He notes: “It is very important you understand that this entire fracas began with me seeing in the media that Chimamanda Adichie refused some national honours and had picked up some traditional title in the East at home.
“And I suggested that for me, it says a lot about the Igbo presidency because that actual seat is what the region should be eyeing right now. I have clamoured for Igbo presidency in the last few years, you wouldn’t believe it.
“It will pop in your mind when you hear the news that Igbos do not actually want the presidency.
“I did not insult the tribe, I am sorry to anyone who it sounded as such to. I was trying to weigh into a very important matter.”
