Nigerian
singer/songwriter, television presenter, publisher, producer and one of
Nigeria’s most controversial entertainers Charly Boy, born Charles Chukwuemeka
Oputa, (also spelt Charlie Boy and known as CB, His Royal Punkness, and Area
Fada), expressed his views about the 2019 presidential debate which witnessed
the absence of leading candidates, President Muhammadu Buhari of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) and Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP).
While
both Atiku and Buhari had in separate statements explained why they shunned the
debate, Fela Durotoye of the Alliance for New Nigeria (ANN), Oby Ezekwesili of
the Allied Congress Party of Nigeria (ACPN) and Kingsley Moghalu of the Young
Progressives Party (YPP) were present.
But
reacting via twitter, Charlyboy best known for his alternative lifestyle,
political views, and media productions, said he was not surprised President
Buhari didn’t show up having failed to impress Nigerians in a town hall meeting
a few days ago.
He
alleged that Atiku ‘chickened out’ of the debate out of fear for the three
other co-debaters present.
The
maverick artiste, however, slammed Moghalu, Durotoye, and Ezekwesili for
dissipating their energies in seeking individual victories in the elections
rather than working together to defeat and dislodge the APC and PDP from power.
He
described the development as ‘unfortunate and ironic’
He
Wrote:
“The
Great Debate? For where? After the gibberish called English Buhari came to
vomit? I knew that no way in hell his handlers would have allowed him to come
back for another humiliation.
“Atiku
showed up but figured it was beneath him to debate with Kingsley, Oby not to
mention Fela. Even before it started, Atiku ran away.
“For
the other aspirants who for their selfish reasons refused to come together as
one, make una go tell them this is not a house fellowship. This is a bogus
system of treachery and principalities.
“We
need a super force to fight these “evil demons”. Grammar alone for now can’t
cut it, not with devilish people. I tire for our Mumurism. #buharihasfailed.
#atikuisnotanoption.”
