You bought presidential car for N995m but want Nigerians to endure biting hunger, hardship – Charly boy slams Tinubu

Veteran singer and activist Charles Oputa, aka Charly Boy, has called out President Bola Tinubu over the waste in his administration’s governance cost.

TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports that President Tinubu, while recently departing to Malabo, the capital of Equatorial Guinea, for a three-day official visit, rode a Cadillac Escalade worth almost a billion Naira amidst the country’s harsh economy that has seen the Naira significantly devalued and the cost of living reaching new levels.

The video sparked mixed reactions amongst Nigerians on social media.

Reacting, Charly Boy, via his Instagram page on Sunday night, berated President Tinubu for the lavish spending on the cost of governance whilst urging citizens to endure the hardship. 

He queried the government for using an armoured Cadillac Escalade in these difficult times when previous presidents used a Mercedes Maybach S Class. 

He wrote: “This the new Presidential Car, Like the one wey American President dey use. Armoured Cardilac Escalade bought at N995,015,000(N5m short of N1b) while Previous Presidents used Mercedes Maybach S Class.

“Yet APC yahoo yahoo ruiners wants Nigerians to endure biting hunger and hardship. We dey look una dey take notes. Una well done ooo. Nonsense Dia fathers.”
