Veteran Nigerian entertainer, Charly Boy, has cautioned politicians against manipulating the results of the 2027 general elections.
Speaking in an interview with Rudolf Okonkwo on 90MinutesAfrica, the septuagenarian, popularly known as Area Fada, described the upcoming poll as a defining moment for the nation, declaring that the slogan for 2027 would be “rig and die”.
“The 2027 election will be a defining moment for Nigeria. Anybody that plans to rig should be ready to die. It is rig and die.
Because by that time, our eye go clear well well. E don clear small o. What we are about to see in 2026 will make Nigerians decide whether to continue in this manner or to cause a revolution to happen in this country,” he said.
Charly Boy stressed that credible elections remain the only solution to bad governance.
“The solution to bad governance in Nigeria can only come when our votes begin to count. So, our concern right now should be how our votes would count in 2027,” he added.
Reacting to the Lagos State government’s recent decision to rename the Charly Boy Bus Stop in Bariga, he dismissed the move as “outright silly and a bloody distraction,” noting that his focus is on rescuing millions of Nigerians who go to bed hungry daily.
