In his post, Edochie argued that some individuals focus only on condemning fellow Igbos who back Tinubu, instead of addressing supporters across other ethnic groups.
“Any Igbo man who is dragging his fellow Igbo man for supporting President Tinubu is a coward. Show me a video of you dragging Yorubas who are supporting Tinubu,” he wrote.
He went further to challenge critics to show instances where they confronted supporters from other regions.
“Show me a video of you dragging Northerners who are supporting Tinubu. Show me a video of you dragging all the past leaders who couldn’t fix Nigeria,” he added.
The actor accused such critics of selective outrage, claiming they only attack their own people because it is easier.
“Show me a video of you dragging Northern celebrities who support Tinubu. None. You don’t have liver to do it,” he wrote.
“But when it’s your Igbo brother, you’ll rush and set ring light to drag him.. Shame on you.”
Edochie has consistently shown support for Tinubu, dating back to the 2023 general election. The actor once described himself as an “Asiwaju baby,” openly aligning with the president’s political ideology.
He also appealed for patience during nationwide protests between August 1 and 10, 2024, urging Nigerians to allow the administration time to address economic challenges.
