Nigerian singer, Brymo has come under fire for supporting the presidential aspiration of Bola Tinubu, the national leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Brymo Endorses Tinubu
The whole drama started on Monday when a tweep @ambrosia_ijebu wrote, “This Jagaban (as Tinunu is also called) candidacy has truly helped me see that so many Nigerians actually don’t care about purposeful or diligent leadership.”
Reacting to the tweet, Brymo described Tinubu as a “city boy”, noting that the APC chieftain is the one with a plan to better the life of Nigerians in the country.
The singer, who noted that he has never met Tinubu or his political affiliates, charged Nigerians to stop trying to “kill off” Tinubu’s ambition because of his age.
Brymo said, “Yet he’s the one with a plan, we all know that. Let a city boy be president for once!… I’ve never met the man, or anyone who represents, or is acquainted with him, or even his relations and political affiliates – and if we stopped trying to kill them off for being old.”
As his tweet began to gain engagement on the social media platform, the singer continued to give justifications as to why Tinubu’s candidature was the best bet.
“About having a Plan; You live in what town ?.. I live in Lagos. Yh! City Boy. It is like Lagos moving into Aso rock, it is guaranteed to work!.. even if looting is rife it’ll still be the best presidency yet. On God!” he replied another follower.
“You may be trying for God knows why, I am just looking for the best options there are, something to bridge the aspirational divide.. and it is my country as well, I have natural rights to pick a candidate and speak for why!!”
“Omo!.. una no go at least present argument, una go just dey make remarks for my comments ?.. really ?… una no go make small effort Shey ?.. this place go survive and thrive sha.. I don pick sides, I dey for spreading city vibes into countrysides, to scale up wetin dey work.”

Brymo’s shocking support for Tinubu has triggered multiple reactions on social media. While some shared his sentiments, others believe that he has been bought over by the political elites.
I just want to remind you that you can drag Brymo all you want,
He's said what he's said and nothing will happen.
His 100% entitled to his opinion, it doesn't have to sit well with anyone.
So for the fact that you don't support BAT means any other person can't?? 😏 😏

Brymo is a joke. A joke that has been encouraged by too many of you on here.
Coming on here and trying to be condescending because you think you are smart……

Brymo wants you to give someone whose plan is to recruit 50 million people in the army.
Does this guy know how economically impractical such a thing is?
It took over a hundred countries in WWII to assemble 70 million soldiers.That's the person you think knows economics. https://t.co/Xa8jWJFRuM

You twitter ppl are so obsessed with trying to make an hero out of everyone.
Why can’t Brymo have a preferred candidate? Or must his choice align with yours ? Or how is his choice consequential to whatever choice you have.

Brymo said, “it is guaranteed to work!.. even if looting is rife it’ll still be the best presidency yet…”
You’d really think you know someone from their music.

Applauding Peter Psquare for supporting PO but Brymo can’t support who he wants because the person isn’t your preferred candidate 🤡

This type of tyranny by kids who cannot think for themselves will be the order of the day till after the 2023 elections. A situation where people are not allowed to have a choice except who they choose.
You people praised Paul for pushing Obi but Brymo cannot have a voice.ETYWR https://t.co/9qFwtrDjta
