Onyi Alex, the popular Nigerian movie star, has reacted to the move by some Igbo businessmen to back the administration of Bola Tinubu.

The controversy started after businessmen like Obi Cubana, Chiefpriest, and Zenco publicly declared their support for the City Boys Movement, said to be led by Seyi Tinubu.

Their action triggered mixed reactions online, especially among people from the South-East who questioned their political direction and loyalty.

Taking to her Instagram story, Onyi Alex expressed disappointment over the involvement of certain Igbo businessmen in the movement.

She said that betrayal has become common among her people and made a biblical comparison, saying she believed Judas, who betrayed Jesus Christ, must have been Igbo.

She also raised concerns about insecurity in the South-East, stating that many Igbos now struggle to travel safely to the region.

According to her, some wealthy individuals prefer to use private jets when visiting because of safety fears.

Despite this situation, she lamented that certain people are still standing by what she described as a failed mandate.

The actress further stated that Igbo men who sell out their people may eventually realise that those they align with do not fully trust them either.

She wrote: “I’m sure Judas who betrayed Jesus Christ was Igbo. It is no longer funny that many Igbos cannot travel safely to the East because of insecurity. Even wealthy people now use private jets to travel home because of what is happening.

“Yet some people are still standing on a failed mandate. Igbo men who sold out their people will soon realise that those they aligned with do not even trust them.”
