Veteran entertainer and activist Charles Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy, has made a bold and controversial call for Nigerians to fiercely defend their votes in the 2027 general elections—even if it means taking extreme measures.
In a recent interview with Jay On-Air, the maverick singer voiced deep frustration with the state of governance in Nigeria, asserting that corruption under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration is significantly worse than that of former President Muhammadu Buhari.
“The corruption in the current administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is ten times worse than the last administration of the late former President Muhammadu Buhari,” Charly Boy claimed.
He expressed skepticism about whether Nigerians’ votes would count in 2027 and criticized leaders across ethnic lines for looting the nation’s wealth.
“It’s not about Mr. A can steal more than Mr. B. The people stealing our national wealth are from all the tribes. We know the game,” he said.
Charly Boy warned that drastic action might be the only way to reclaim the country’s democracy.
“I’m hoping to see ‘rig and die’ come 2027. Blood will flow; before it gets better, it will get worse,” he declared.
His statement has sparked intense reactions on social media, with many Nigerians divided over his call for action and rhetoric ahead of the next election cycle.
