Why I’m yet to go on exile as promised – Charly Boy

Charles Oputa, aka Charly Boy, a maverick singer, claimed he is still in Nigeria despite his preferred candidate for president in the 2023 elections, Peter Obi of the Labour Party, not winning because he is “hopeful.”

Recall that prior to the 2023 presidential elections, Charly Boy had vowed to leave Nigeria if the incumbent All Progressives Congress (APC) leader Bola Tinubu or the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate Atiku Abubakar won the presidency.

After being named the victor of the presidential election held on February 25th, Tinubu took office on May 29th.

Charly Boy claimed he is still in the nation months after Tinubu was sworn in because Peter Obi gave him new hope.

He made this known via his Twitter handle on Friday.

“I remember over 1yr ago, I bin talk say, if PDP or APC win election, I go just pack my tins commot Nigeria.

“Today am still staying put in Nigeria because I am hopeful in the face of all the Potopoto I see.

“Thank you, Peter Obi for renewing my HOPE. God bless you,” he wrote.
