Charly Boy lambasts Tinubu’s aide for calling Peter Obi ‘bitter’

Veteran singer Charly Boy has berated President Bola Tinubu's Special Advisor on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, for calling the Labour Party presidential candidate during the 2023 general election Peter Obi "bitter".

The President's aide had made fun of Peter Obi's recent appearance in Canada by calling him "Bitter Obi" and quoted a sarcastic tweet.

In response, Charly Boy voiced his displeasure with Onanuga's behaviour, claiming that Obi "never sponsored any form of violence against the state or government" and that "such disgusting name-calling" was inappropriate.

He asked the presidential adviser to concentrate on addressing the depreciating value of the Naira in the foreign exchange market, as well as the hunger, poverty, and corruption that are destroying his boss's administration.

Charly Boy wrote: “We are saddened and disappointed at Mr. Bayo Onanuga for addressing HE Peter Obi as “Bitter Obi” such disgusting name-calling on an active and dedicated citizen like HE Peter Obi who has never sponsored any form of violence against the State or the government is uncalled-for.

“As loyal supporters of HE Peter Obi, any form of attack on HE Peter Obi is an absolute attack on well-meaning Nigerians. Mr. Bayo must refrain from attacking Obi as such will not give Nigerians the needed good governance rather.

“Mr. Bayo Must focus on the fall of Naira, insecurity, hunger, poverty, corruption ravaging the incompetent government of Tinubu.”

Charly Boy recently claimed that because Peter Obi has been criticizing the administration, President Bola Tinubu was planning to arrest him.

The singer issued a warning stating that there would be an unprecedented degree of resistance in Nigerian history to any attempt to arrest or indict Peter Obi.

He pleaded with the government to use prudence and not start any disturbances by illegally detaining Peter Obi.

Charly Boy made it clear in a message shared on his social media accounts that the "Obidients"— Obi's supporters, were ready to fight back if Obi was arrested or faced prosecution.

He urged Tinubu's administration to renounce their evil schemes against Peter Obi since they would have serious consequences for Nigeria.
