Nigerian businessman Emeka Okonkwo, widely known as E-Money, has reacted following criticism aimed at some Igbo businessmen who have declared support for President Bola Tinubu’s 2027 re-election bid.

The reaction comes after fellow businessmen Obi Cubana and Cubana Chiefpriest publicly showed support for Tinubu. Reports earlier revealed that both men were given appointments in a pro-Tinubu group known as the City Boy Movement.

Tension grew online after a viral video surfaced showing the two businessmen alongside Zenco, displaying buses said to be meant for Tinubu’s campaign ahead of the 2027 election. The development sparked heated conversations on social media, with many Nigerians sharing mixed reactions.

While the debate continued, E-Money took to Instagram on Thursday, February 12, 2026, but not to address the political controversy directly. Instead, he posted an update about his upcoming birthday celebration scheduled for February 18.

He wrote:

“UPDATE! UPDATE!! 6 DAYS TO GO!!! (18th Feb loadingggg!) The countdown is getting real and the excitement is on 100!!! 😄 My heart is sooo full and grateful. Thankful for life, love, growth, and every single blessing along the way! Let the celebration begin alreadyyy.”

However, some followers used the comment section to make subtle remarks about the ongoing political conversation. A few described certain supporters as “hungry billionaires” and “Igbo Judas Iscariot.”

E-Money appeared to notice the comments and reacted with laughing emojis, without offering any further explanation or statement on the issue.

The controversy around Igbo businessmen backing President Tinubu’s 2027 campaign continues to stir reactions online. While some figures have openly shown support, E-Money has not made any direct political statement. For now, his public focus remains on his upcoming birthday celebration.

As discussions continue on social media, it remains to be seen whether more business leaders will address the growing debate.
