“You are creating division among ndi igbo - Yul Edochie tells Senator Victor Umeh

Nollywood actor Yul Edochie has accused Senator Victor Umeh of creating a division among the Igbo people following his recent political statements regarding Peter Obi.

Speaking in Awka, Anambra State, Senator Umeh asserted that any Igbo person who opposes Peter Obi's candidacy or tells others not to vote for him is an enemy of the Igbo race. Read here.

Reacting to the lawmaker's remarks, Yul maintained that it is entirely wrong for the senator to make such statements. He urged Umeh to respect democratic freedom and allow people to vote for their preferred candidates without resorting to emotional blackmail.

Yul emphasized that every individual has the right to support whoever they want, and their choices do not make them enemies of the community. He warned that Umeh's comments mirror the dangerous narrative that previously labeled anyone who did not support Biafran agitation as a saboteur, a mindset that contributed to past violence and killings in the Southeast.
