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

Tribal bigotry about to be pushed to FP because Igbo was mentioned.

Shehu Sani, a so-called activist, now works for Tinubu, no tribal angle.

Reno who called Tinubu a drug lord now works for him, no tribal angle.

Daniel Bwala who said the worst about Tinubu now works for him, no tribal rhetoric.

So many others who were once against Tinubu now work for him, no tribal angle.

But the moment one person of Igbo origin works for Tinubu, tribe becomes the issue.

My rejoinder: https://www.nairaland.com/8616484/rejoinder-isaac-fayose-know-tribal

Hmmm... Especially the Igbo leaders. Those people are sellouts.

And u are here promoting it to be pushed to the front page.

I am wondering, Now Tinubu has cornered practically all governors with promise of N250b, what excuse will he use to give some governors N250b and not give others N250b?

Whatever rocks their ⛵️

Selfish people everywhere

Some topics shouldn't make it to the frontpage of this forum

Shut up already,just because a handful of selfish individuals who can be found in every other tribe or race are fight for their personal interests doesn’t reflect anything!

The igbos you are mentioning,do you think they are broke?money is not a problem to them.

NK’s incarceration is case more than just lobbying,it’s a case of Christian persecution or a case of Nigeria fighting for survival because they don’t want a breakup of Nigeria..

But thank God the world is now becoming aware of this forced marriage and Christian persecution going on.

When FG knack you court case to come prove this allegation now, hashtags will be trending left and right. Or you think state security department isn't monitoring this site. Ask around how Invictus obi was arrested.
And one thing about you lots that love to enter trouble is that majority of you are very wretched human who have nobody in power to bail you out.

Just imagine that audacity

Oh, i didnt know those governors, Senators and Reps that moved to APC were Igbos.

I thought Igbos were being lambasted moment ago for doing Sit at Home as a solidarity with Kanu?

Forgive me, I didnt know those that abandoned Abiola in prison and supported Abacha were Igbos

Controversial man. You will be roasted.

What is the difference between six and half a dozen?

How many spoons of Jollof Rice did his brother use to buy Ekiti voters before stealing their money, instead of employing workers to make basic government services and public utilities available.

No wonder Sheriff cursed him and his Rivers ologogoro friend.

No room for Wike, Fayose in PDP again —Sheriff

Also reacting to the judgment, its apparent beneficiary, Senator Sheriff, vowed to put in place a machinery that would not give room to people like Governors Nyesom Wike and Ayodele Fayose of Rivers and Ekiti states, respectively in any future arrangement in the party.

“I will engineer a restructuring of PDP such that characters like Wike and Fayose cannot find a way through to attain any position of prominence in our party in the future. They have brought shame and agony through the application of their crude and godless politics which is at variance with the principles upon which our founding fathers built our great party.

“We must find a way to sieve things so that only men of character and integrity can come through for positions of responsibility at all levels of our political engagement in the country.

“We must urgently steer the ship of PDP clear of the path of infamy which Wike and Fayose has brought our party, making Nigerians to mistaken PDP as a training ground for thugs. That is the urgent task we have. We cannot continue to advertise thug brand and expect Nigerians to take us seriously,” he said.

But what he said is the truth,I keep on wondering why Orji Kalu who was the same class of Governor with BAT ,is now the one wearing the mandate cap,cloth and bata to sleep. What a shame.

What do you guys want them to do again? Dey tried their best to release him, but the powers dat be no gree, rather he, ( the cap guy ) want to use it as his game plan for 2027

This guy Dey craze.

Is it the same Igbos that have locked their businesses for 4 years in protest against the injustice on Kanu?

Can he tell us what Yorubas have done in loyalty to any of their own? Their leaders betrayed Abiola and sold him out to Abacha and yet I’ve not heard anyone calling them out for that.

His brother who is a pdp leader has sold himself cheap to Tinubu and betrayed his own party. The charity should begin in fayoses home ..

Let me respond to the second paragraph only and I will do that with a question.

Why do you think the North decided that a Yoruba man must be president in 1999?
Two of the major parties then had Yoruba men as presidential candidates.. The north knew the country will be hot if they don't pacify the Yorubas following the death of Abiola..
What you people call cowardice by the Yorubas is diplomatic warfare. Whereas your constant chant of wars from the pre-civil war till date is seen as barking dogs.
Note that I'm not in support of Peter Fayose, that's his opinion but you don't have to come for his whole tribe

WHERE IS THE LIE HERE?

Mr. Fayose just stated that the sky is blue and this guy just proved his point... why una dey shout?
Has this guy ever voiced out about the ordeals of the Igbo people? But when money matter come, hin don carry hin money hungry mouth dey shout

Sirleo05:

Game plan? How? I’m not sure you folks are the smart thinkers you claim to be. When the presidency pardoned kidnappers and the like, you all went to town crying foul until that decision was rescinded. Now, where do you expect Tinubu to find the political capital to free Nnamdi Kanu, convicted of terrorism? If there hadn’t been such an uproar back then, there’d be a premise to release him now—but not anymore.

The funny thing is I trust most of my Igbo friends than the yoruba ones. Na one of my yoruba friends still tell me never to do partnership business with yoruba man.

Diplomatic what??
Ahahahaaha
The only and i repeat the only reason the north agreed to that nonsense was because the entire country was tired of northern presidents
Throw in the fact they knew Obasanjo will beat Falae hands down
Abiola that was busy sponsoring coups
🤣🤣🤣
Again you guys are hilarious 😂
