Joe Igbokwe blames IPOB, ESN, and 'Known Gunmen' for Davido and Chioma's wedding relocation from the Southeast to Lagos, sparking mixed reactions online.
Politician Joe Igbokwe has sparked controversy by attributing the relocation of singer Davido and his bride Chioma's wedding from the Southeast to Lagos to the activities of IPOB, ESN, and 'Known Gunmen'. Igbokwe lamented on Facebook, stating, "As beautiful and colorful as CHIVIDO's wedding is, I regret the obvious truth that it did not take place in the South East. Thank you IPOB, ESN, and KGM. Jisienu Ike 0000000."
Nigerians on social media have expressed mixed reactions to Igbokwe's statement. Many criticized him for politicizing a personal event, questioning the relevance of his comments to the security challenges faced by the region. One user responded, "Joe Igbokwe is always talking nonsense and rubbish," reflecting a sentiment shared by several others who viewed his statement as insensitive and inappropriate.
However, some defended Igbokwe's perspective, arguing that hosting such a high-profile event in the Southeast would have boosted the local economy significantly. "Economically, the Southeast lost a lot by not hosting this wedding," remarked a user, highlighting potential benefits like increased business for local vendors and service providers.
