Why Igbo men struggle in politics—Pete Edochie
Veteran actor Pete Edochie has claimed that Igbo men struggle in politics due to their inability to tolerate betrayal.
In a recent interview on Afia TV, Edochie explained that Igbo individuals are quick to cut ties with those who deceive them.
This characteristic, while rooted in a culture that highly values loyalty and trust, can make it difficult for them to maintain the sustained, often opportunistic, relationships necessary for political advancement.
Edochie attributed this to the Igbo culture, where people prioritize loyalty and trust.
He noted that this trait can hinder Igbo politicians' careers, as they may struggle to maintain strategic alliances in the cutthroat world of politics.
Edochie said, “An Igbo man is not a politician. And I will tell you why: people who are used to politics or the treachery that characterizes politics can overlook things. But the Igbo man is not constituted to condone treachery a second time. If you hurt the Igbo man once in politics, he will never give you an opportunity to hurt him again. He will recoil himself. That’s the average Igbo man.
“The Igbo man is really not constituted to sustain political treachery. The moment you exhibit treachery in your. That’s it.”
