Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The international acclaimed writer, Chimamanda Adichie has tackled the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, for projecting her as a tribal person.<\/p>\n

Adichie said \u2018tribesman\u2019 is an outdated and strange expression which says something about whoever is using it.<\/p>\n

She made the statement on Tuesday while fielding questions on Arise Television\u2019s news program.<\/p>\n

Recall that the acclaimed writer had faced rebuttals and attacks following her letter to Joe Biden, the President of the United States.<\/p>\n

She claimed in her letter that the presidential election was marred by irregularities and that the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, didn\u2019t follow its stipulated guidelines.<\/p>\n

Adichie warned that it would \u201ctarnish America\u2019s self-proclaimed commitment to democracy and give the sheen of legitimacy to an illegitimate process\u201d if Biden recognised Tinubu\u2019s presidency.<\/p>\n

However, Adichie said the APC was exactly doing something it accused someone else of doing.<\/p>\n

She said, \u201cTribesman is such an outdated and strange expression which I think also says something about whoever is using it. That kind of accusation is a practice of what psychologists call \u2018projecting\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re doing something but you accuse someone else of doing it even though they\u2019re not. I did not support Peter Obi because he is Igbo as I am.<\/p>\n

\u201cI respect Peter Obi but there are many Igbo men who I admire and respect but I will never vote for them for president because I don\u2019t think they will make good presidents. My support for Peter Obi is rooted in my belief in his ability.\u201d<\/p>\n
