Veteran entertainer and activist, Charles Oputa, widely known as Charly Boy, has issued a bold warning ahead of Nigeria’s 2027 general elections, urging citizens not to tolerate any form of electoral malpractice, even if it leads to violent resistance.
In a no-holds-barred interview with Jay On-Air, Charly Boy declared that Nigerians must be ready to defend their votes with their lives, adding that a revolution of some sort might be inevitable to reclaim the country from what he described as corrupt political elites.
“The corruption in the current administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is ten times worse than the last administration of the late former President Muhammadu Buhari,” he said.
He expressed deep frustration over the state of governance and alleged widespread looting of national resources by politicians across ethnic and party lines.
“It’s not about Mr A stealing more than Mr B. The people stealing our national wealth are from all the tribes. We know the game,” he remarked.
Raising the stakes for the next election cycle, Charly Boy didn’t mince words about his expectations for Nigerians come 2027. “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.
He concluded with a stark warning: “But I’m hoping to see ‘rig and die’ come 2027. Blood will flow; before it gets better, it will get worse.”
