In advance of the general elections in 2023, entertainer and activist Charles Oputa, better known by his stage name Charly Boy, has explained why he has decided to join the “Obidient” campaign.
The 72-year-old activist, who spoke with Newsmen this week, claimed that the current administration had let down Nigerians and offered no hope to the average citizen, thus the need for change.
Charly Boy is adamant that Peter Obi, a former governor of Anambra State and presidential candidate for the Labour Party, LP, would implement the socioeconomic adjustments the nation needs to advance from its current state.

The seasoned entertainer told Newsmen in an interview that “it is about lousy government and how to fix that equation and status quo.”
Charly Boy continued by saying that Nigerians must alter the way in which they view the people they choose to lead the country. He insisted that one of the biggest issues is that the populace disengages from politics, feels that it is none of their business, and does not exert pressure on their leaders to act morally.
He added that if Peter Obi enters the country and Nigerians continue to act in a “nothing worry me” manner, nothing will change.
