Talented Nigerian alternative singer Olawale Ashimi, popularly known in music circles as Brymo has tendered an unreserved apology over his anti-Igbo comments.
Recall that while Brymo was endorsing APC presidential candidate Bola Ahmed Tinubu via his official Twitter account, he said that it is not yet time for an Igbo presidency.
He had made a series of tribally motivated posts but the straw that broke the camel’s back was when he tweeted; “F**k The Ndi Igbo!! To Hell With It!!”.

Following the barrage of criticism, heat and backlash from Nigerians over his anti-igbo remarks, Brymo has decided to apologise during an Instagram live session.
Brymo noted that he would never insult the tribe, and apologized to those he might have offended during this period.
“I didn’t insult the tribe (Igbos), I will not do that. I apologize to any one who is saddened by such a tweet. I was trying to weigh in on very important matters,” he said.
