An Igbo Man Is Not A Good Politician – Pete Edochie Claims (Video)

Veteran Nollywood actor Pete Edochie has stated that Igbo men struggle in the political arena, claiming they are not naturally inclined toward politics.

He explained that Igbos are not accustomed to tolerating treachery, which he noted is common in politics.

He mentioned that this has made many Igbo politicians severe ties with strategic political allies, thereby affecting their careers in the long run.

Speaking in a recent interview with Afia TV, Edochie said, “An Igbo man is not a good politician. And I will tell you why, people who are used to politics or the treachery that characterised politics, can overlook a lot of things.

"But the Igbo man is not constituted to condole treachery a second time. If you hurt the Igbo man once in politics, he will never give you an opportunity to hurt him again. He will recoil himself. That’s the average Igbo man.

“The Igbo man is really not constituted to sustain political treachery. The moment you exhibit treachery in your involvement with an Igbo man, they cut you off. That’s it.”
