Afrobeats superstar, Peter Okoye (FKA Mr P) has spoken about the tribal animosities ravaging the country, on the back of the general elections.
Speaking specifically about the online feud between Igbos and Yorubas, Mr P calls for peace between both tribes, citing his marriage to Omolola as a compelling illustration of why tribalism should not be promoted in the country.
He also claimed that Politicians are using tribal squabbles as a cover for their questionable behaviour. He advised the populace to exhibit wisdom and refrain from being exploited to further ethnic rivalries.
In his words, the singer said: “I am an Igbo man married to a Yoruba woman. Igbos do not hate Yorubas. Neither do Yorubas hate Igbos. Politicians are using tribes as an excuse to cover their evil.
“They don’t like you whether Igbo or Yoruba. They only care about their pockets. Be wiser.”
