Isaac Fayose: "Thank God I'm Not Igbo, They Are Easily Bought With Money, Power"

 Isaac Fayose claimed that the Igbo tribe is "easy to buy" with money and power, suggesting they lack political loyalty.

He alleged that the incarcerated IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu, has been completely abandoned by his kinsmen following his legal woes.

However, many Nigerians slammed the statement as divisive and dangerous, calling on public figures to avoid speech that promotes ethnic hate.

“Thank God I’m not Igbo by tribe. That tribe is so easy to buy with m0ney — just hold m0ney and p0wer and they will follow you like a puppy d0g,” — Isaac Fayose says
