Charles Chukwuemeka Oputa, also known as Charly Boy, is an activist and singer who has gained popularity. He has urged young people in Nigeria to continue with the planned statewide rallies against bad government.

Charly Boy stated that if persons in positions of authority are sure of their honesty, they should welcome criticism and dissent rather than stifle it.

He announced this on Wednesday in a post on his X handle, denying the existence of a report urging Lagosians to disregard the demonstration since the administration of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu is already providing for their needs.

Charly Boy, however, disagreed, claiming that because they have secrets to hide, they turn to stifling dissident voices and evading responsibility.

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.”
