The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, Dele Momodu, has absolved the Igbos over conspiracy theories regarding the ongoing #EndBadGovernance protests around Nigeria.
Some Nigerians have expressed mixed reactions over the non-participation of Igbos in the nationwide protests, with others alleging the Southeast instigated the protest.
In a post via X on Friday, Momodu defended the Igbos, insisting that “nobody instigated anyone or anything.”
The veteran journalist, while responding to a message from ‘Tinubu apologist’, said the conspiracy against the Igbos is cheap blackmail, stressing that the masses are hungry while the government is living large.
Dele Momodu insisted that President Bola Tinubu has not done well, adding that ethnicising the protests is to be disingenuous.
He wrote: “This unfortunate conspiracy theory was forwarded to me this morning by a Tinubu apologist. Here’s my response: It is all a cheap blackmail. The people are hungry while the government is living large.
“The Igbo are largely traders. They look after their own globally. Nobody instigated anyone or anything.
“You guys should accept the reality that Tinubu has not done very well. Leave the Igbo out of your excuses. To ethnicise the protests is to be disingenuous…”
