Veteran Nigerian singer and social activist, Charles Oputa, known by his stage name, Charly Boy, has chided President Bola Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, for dragging the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi.
The report explained that Onanuga had in a post on his verified X handle, called out Peter Obi for keeping mum on the Supreme Court’s judgement granting financial full autonomy to local governments.
Onanuga, in his post on Friday, wondered why the former Anambra governor is yet to tweet about the Supreme 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.”
His post, however, didn’t go down well, as some supporters of Peter Obi stormed the comment section to lambast the presidential aide.
Commenting on the post, Charly Boy wrote, “Why are you so shameless”?
Similarly, a popular Nigerian journalist, David Hundeyin wrote, “Go drunk Bayo, you’re home”.
Also commenting, 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”?
