Nollywood actress Onyii Alex has sparked fresh political debate online after openly criticizing some Igbo men who publicly support Nigeria’s ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), accusing them of betraying community interests amid ongoing insecurity concerns in the Southeast.
Taking to Instagram, the actress questioned the loyalty and motives of influential figures backing the current administration. In her emotional post, she suggested that despite safety challenges affecting travel within the region, some elites continue to align themselves with the ruling party — a decision she implied could damage trust and unity within the community.
Her comments reportedly referenced growing conversations around the political positions of notable businessmen, including figures such as Obi Cubana and Cubana Chief Priest, who have shown support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the APC, a move that has divided opinion among fans and social media users.
The post quickly gained traction online, drawing mixed reactions. Supporters praised her for speaking boldly on perceived social issues, while critics argued that political affiliation remains a personal choice and should not define loyalty to ethnic or regional identity.
The controversy highlights the growing intersection of celebrity influence, politics, and social media discourse in Nigeria, where public figures increasingly shape conversations that extend far beyond entertainment. As reactions continue to pour in, the debate around political loyalty, regional identity, and freedom of choice remains active across digital platforms.
