A picture of Orji Uzor Kalu hugging Tinubu has sparked various reactions from Nigerians. One comment read, “These Igbo politicians are only interested in what they can get for themselves.”
Such statements unfairly generalize an entire group based on the actions of a few, fostering stereotypes and division. Assuming all Igbo politicians act out of selfish interest ignores the complexities of individual motives and achievements. Political accountability should focus on actions and policies rather than ethnic or tribal identity.
