Frank Edoho responds to criticism over tweet on Igbo politicians not supporting their own

Media personality Frank Edoho has responded to critics of his controversial tweet about Igbo politicians not supporting their own kind.

Frank, the host of the popular intellectual show ‘Who Wants to be a Millionaire’ said this in a Twitter post on Tuesday in reaction to the fiasco between Anambra State Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo and the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi.

Reacting to the debacle, Frank who is from Edo State, said Yoruba and Hausa people derive pleasure in supporting their own, but the reverse has been the case for Igbo politicians who drag their own people.

He wrote, “Igbo politicians will never stop baffling me. You have the rare opportunity of one of your kin being President but instead of supporting and clamouring for him like Yoruba and Hausa people do with their candidates, you look for ways to disrupt and thwart him! Tufia Kwa!”

The tweet, however, generated mixed reactions from social meda users. While some applauded him over the statement, others accused him of being tribalistic.
