Veteran singer Charles Oputa aka Charly Boy, has lambasted the Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.
This comes after Onanuga called the presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the last election, Peter Obi a “bitter” person.
Onanuga had referred to Peter Obi as “Bitter Obi” while quoting a tweet mocking the former Anambra State governor’s recent outing in Canada.
Reacting, Charly Boy expressed disappointment over Onanuga’s action, saying “such disgusting name-calling” on Obi who “never sponsored any form of violence against the state or government” was uncalled for.
He urged the presidential aide to focus on tackling the poor performance of the Naira in the forex market, insecurity, hunger, poverty and corruption ravaging the administration of his boss.
On his X handle on Monday, Charly Boy wrote: “We are saddened and disappointed at Mr. Bayo Onanuga for addressing HE Peter Obi as “Bitter Obi” such disgusting name-calling on an active and dedicated citizen like HE Peter Obi who has never sponsored any form of violence against the State or the government is uncalled-for.
“As loyal supporters of HE Peter Obi, any form of attack on HE Peter Obi is an absolute attack on well-meaning Nigerians. Mr. Bayo must refrain from attacking Obi as such will not give Nigerians the needed good governance rather.
“Mr. Bayo Must focus on the fall of Naira, insecurity, hunger, poverty, corruption ravaging the incompetent government of Tinubu.”
