You are moneys, actor tells Igbo attacking Southeasterners supporting Tinubu

Nollywood actor Yul Edochie has condemned what he described as attacks on Igbo individuals who support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ahead of the forthcoming general election.

He labeled them monkeys and cowards.

The light complexioned actor in a post shared on his  X handle, frowned at what he described as selective criticism directed at fellow Igbos, noting that such reactions are often not extended to supporters from other regions.

He urged critics to adopt a more balanced approach in their political engagement, questioning why similar scrutiny is not directed at supporters of the president from other parts of the country.

Edochie added that political differences should not lead to division within the same ethnic group, calling for mutual respect and a broader perspective in national discourse.

He wrote, “Any Igbo man who is dragging his fellow Igbo man for supporting President TINUBU, that person is a monkey and a coward. 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 who support TINUBU. None. You don’t have the liver to do it. But when it’s your Igbo brother, you’ll rush and set the ring light to drag him. You’re a monkey and a big coward. Shame on you.”

The comments came as political alignments ahead of the 2027 general election.
