Veteran entertainer and activist, Charles Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy, has called on Nigerians to adopt a more aggressive stance in defending their votes ahead of the 2027 general elections.
In a recent interview with Jay On-Air, the maverick singer expressed deep frustration over the state of governance in the country and urged citizens to be ready to effect change “by any means necessary.”
Charly Boy accused the current administration led by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of being far more corrupt than the previous government under the late 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 questioned the integrity of the electoral process and stressed the need for Nigerians to push back against what he described as a system that recycles corrupt leaders.
“All I’m interested in right now is, will our votes count in 2027? How do we do it? How do we get these monsters away from leadership positions? 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 concluded with a chilling warning and a call to action for what he believes will be a make-or-break moment in Nigeria’s democratic history.
“But I’m hoping to see ‘rig and die’ come 2027. Blood will flow; before it gets better, it will get worse.”
