‎Veteran actor Pete Edochie has claimed that Igbo men struggle in politics due to their inability to tolerate treachery.

‎In an interview on Afia TV, Edochie said the Igbo individuals tend to sever ties with those who betray them, making it challenging to sustain political relationships.

‎Edochie attributed this to the Igbo culture, where people prioritise loyalty and trust.

‎He noted that this trait can hinder Igbo politicians’ careers, adding that they may struggle to maintain strategic alliances in the cutthroat world of politics.

‎Edochie said, “An Igbo man is not a good politician. And I will tell you why, people who are used to politics or the treachery that characterises politics, can overlook a lot of 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 allow you to hurt him again. He will recoil himself. That’s the average Igbo man.

‎“The Igbo man is not constituted to sustain political treachery. The moment you exhibit treachery in your involvement with an Igbo man, they cut you off. That’s it.”
