 Protests: It’s season of lies, don’t back down – Charly Boy tells Nigerian youths


Popular singer and activist, Charles Chukwuemeka Oputa, better known as Charly Boy, has urged Nigerian youths not to back down on the planned nationwide protests against bad governance.


Charly Boy said those in power should embrace scrutiny and protest, not suppress it, if they are confident in their integrity.


He made this known in a post on his X handle on Wednesday, while dismissing a report asking Lagos residents to ignore the protest as the Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s government is already doing enough for them.


However, Charly Boy countered the advice, saying they resort to silencing dissenting voices and avoiding accountability because they have secrets to hide.


He said: ā€œA Season of Lies, Wayo, Deceit, Propaganda and the more you Look………..


ā€œIf those in power are confident in their integrity, they should embrace scrutiny and protest, not suppress it. But when they resort to silencing dissenting voices and avoiding accountability, it’s clear they have secrets to hide. The ā€˜skeletons/cemeteries in their cupboard’ are a testament to their corruption and abuse of power.


ā€œIn a true democracy, governments must be transparent and answerable to the people. They should welcome criticism and engage in open dialogue, even when it’s uncomfortable. By doing so, they can earn trust and demonstrate their commitment to serving the public interest. But when they try to hide behind secrecy and intimidation, it’s a clear sign of guilt and a betrayal of the people’s trust.


ā€œNigerian youths don’t ever back down. If dem no fear us, dey can never respect us.


Nonsense. Dia fathers.ā€
