Charly Boy encourages Nigerian youths to continue with planned protest

Popular singer, Charles Chukwuemeka Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy, has thrown his weight behind Nigerian youths ahead of their planned nationwide protests against bad governance.

The activist made his view known in a post on his X handle on Wednesday where he cautioned the government not to try to intimidate the youths.

Area father, as he is popularly called also insinuated that the government is not confident of its integrity, that is is the reason it is trying to suppress the protest.

Furthermore, he rubbished claims that the protest should not be held in Lagos because Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu is not doing badly.

He said, “A Season of Lies, Wayo, Deceit, Propaganda and the more you Look.

“If those in power are confident in their integrity, they should embrace scrutiny and protest, not suppress it. But when they resort to silencing dissenting voices and avoiding accountability, it’s clear they have secrets to hide. The ‘skeletons/cemeteries in their cupboard’ are a testament to their corruption and abuse of power.

“In a true democracy, governments must be transparent and answerable to the people. They should welcome criticism and engage in open dialogue, even when it’s uncomfortable. By doing so, they can earn trust and demonstrate their commitment to serving the public interest. But when they try to hide behind secrecy and intimidation, it’s a clear sign of guilt and a betrayal of the people’s trust.

“Nigerian youths don’t ever back down. If dem no fear us, dey can never respect us.

“Nonsense. Dia fathers.” (sic)
