Popular Nigerian singer and activist, Charles Chukwuemeka Oputa, widely known as Charly Boy, has taken to his X handle (formerly Twitter) to react strongly to a controversial statement made by Governor Monday Okpebholo of Edo State.
The governor had allegedly stated that Peter Obi, the Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023 elections, should not enter Edo State without his approval.
Charly Boy, never one to shy away from political discourse, posted: “Na only agbero dey talk like dis.
Look at this nwa banshi.
Wetin una think? Yeye dey smell.
Dia fathers.”
The post, laced with street slang and sarcasm, quickly gained traction online.
In his typical bold and unfiltered style, Charly Boy appeared to mock the governor’s statement, questioning the legitimacy and logic behind such a demand.
His reaction resonated with many Nigerians who believe that no governor has the constitutional right to restrict the movement of any citizen, especially a prominent political figure like Peter Obi.
Charly Boy, known for his activism and fearless commentary, reminded his followers that democracy thrives on freedom of movement and expression, not intimidation.
The veteran entertainer continues to use his platform to challenge perceived injustice and authoritarian behavior, cementing his role as a consistent voice for the people in Nigeria’s ever-evolving political landscape.
