By Ochogwu Sunday
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.
DAILY POST reports 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”?
