Controversial entertainer and activist, Charles Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy, has sparked heated debate across the country with his bold call for Nigerians to fiercely defend their votes ahead of the 2027 general elections warning that electoral injustice must no longer be tolerated.
In a fiery interview with media personality Jay On-Air, the outspoken singer didn’t hold back as he accused President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration of surpassing the corruption levels of the previous government led by the late Muhammadu Buhari.
“The corruption in the current administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is ten times worse than the last administration,” Charly Boy declared.
He expressed deep concern about whether the votes of Nigerians will truly count in 2027, insisting that change must be demanded “by any means necessary.” His comments have since triggered a wave of reactions on social media, with many echoing his sentiments on the growing frustration with governance and democratic trust in Nigeria.
“It’s not about Mr A can steal more than Mr B. The people stealing our national wealth are from all the tribes,” he said. “We know the game.”
He further called for a national awakening, urging citizens to resist electoral manipulation and reclaim power from what he described as a political class entrenched in greed and oppression.
“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?” he questioned passionately.
Charly Boy’s explosive remarks come amid rising political tension and public discontent over issues ranging from economic hardship to perceived government unaccountability. As 2027 approaches, his message signals a growing wave of civic resistance and a warning that the next election cycle may not follow the same quiet playbook of the past.
