Charly Boy, Others Descend On Tinubu’s Top Appointee Over Attack On Peter Obi

Famous Nigerian singer and social activist, Charles Oputa, aka Charly Boy, criticized President Bola Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, for his remarks concerning the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi.

Onanuga had taken to his verified X handle to question Peter Obi’s silence on the Supreme Court’s recent judgment granting full financial autonomy to local governments. In a post on Friday, Onanuga expressed surprise that the former Anambra Governor had not commented on the court’s decision even after 36 hours.

He wrote: “Why is Peter Obi silent? “More than 36 hours after the Supreme Court gave a landmark ruling, granting financial autonomy to Nigeria’s 774 local councils, Mr. Peter Obi, the defeated Labour Party candidate, has yet to utter a word on the epochal judgment.

“His silence confirms the belief that he is always quick to tweet unverified news about the Tinubu administration or our country.”

However, Onanuga’s post, angered some supporters of Peter Obi who stormed the comment section to blast him.

Reacting to the post, Charly Boy wrote, “Why are you so shameless”?

Also, a popular Nigerian journalist, David Hundeyin wrote, “Go drunk Bayo, you’re home”.

Commenting on the post too, an X user and influencer, FS Yusuf wrote, “Sugar dey him mouth? Why are you looking for what he will say? If your policies will work, you will hear it from the masses and not Peter Obi. Shebi una say una win election”?
