He spoke extensively about politics, insecurity, and what he described as the need for a “fresh start” in Nigeria’s leadership direction.
In the interview, Brymo argued that Nigeria must begin to move beyond ethnic suspicion and allow different regions a fair chance at producing the president.
He said the South-East should not be left behind in the country’s political rotation, insisting that national healing should now be a key part of governance discussions.
According to him:
“I think it is high time for Igbo presidency. It is time for Nigeria to start considering Igbo presidency. Let’s let go of the past and reconcile our differences and unite as a nation.”
While advocating for unity, Brymo also raised concerns about insecurity across different regions, suggesting that instability could complicate political ambitions.
He alleged that insecurity sometimes becomes part of political calculations, though he did not provide evidence for the claim.
“But how will we get there if the South-east is also slowly descending into chaos? Anytime any group in Nigeria wants presidency, they will start militancy. That is what is going on,” he said.
Brymo also referenced President Bola Tinubu while discussing regional security outfits, stating that he personally supported Tinubu’s alleged stance on Amotekun.
He argued that multiple active regional security groups alongside other militant activities could threaten national stability.
“One of the reasons I like President Bola Tinubu is because he stopped Amotekun from taking off… Imagine if Yorubas have Amotekun active, South-eastern insecurity active, Boko Haram active, and South-south militants active, do we still have a country?” he added.
