According to the musician, the time has come for the country to give serious consideration to an Igbo presidency as part of efforts to promote fairness and strengthen national cohesion.
He argued that healing old wounds and fostering unity among Nigeria’s diverse ethnic groups would help create a more stable political environment.
Brymo, however, expressed concern over the security challenges facing the South-East, warning that persistent instability could undermine the region’s political aspirations.
He alleged that political interests often exploit insecurity and violent activities in different parts of the country to advance power struggles.
The singer noted that recurring incidents of kidnapping, militancy and other forms of unrest have frequently coincided with political contests, raising questions about their impact on national stability.
Brymo also spoke on security initiatives across the country, praising President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for what he described as efforts to prevent the proliferation of regional security structures that could deepen divisions.
According to him, Nigeria’s unity could be threatened if multiple armed groups and security outfits operated independently across different regions while existing security challenges such as insurgency and militancy persist.
He maintained that preserving national cohesion should remain a priority as the country works toward resolving its political and security challenges.
