ABUJA (PRECISE POST) – Founder of “Our Mumu Don Do organisation, veteran entertainer and activist, popularly known as AreaFada, Charles Oputa (Chalie Boy) has reacted to the muted coalition by politicians, saying that 2027 elections should not be about revenge or replacing one elite with another. Instead, he called for a national awakening grounded in new values, new visions, and courageous leadership.
Charlie Boy who took to his X account handle to advise Nigerians on Friday, urged citizens to look beyond political noise and demand real change, not just recycled faces in new clothing.
While questioning the authenticity of current political movements rallying under the banner of national unity. Charlie Boy said: “Everybody is shouting ‘Let’s unite and take back Nigeria.’ The noise is loud. The outrage? Clear. But unite for what exactly?” he asked.
The controversial artist expressed deep skepticism about emerging alliances and coalitions, many of which include familiar faces responsible for Nigeria’s ongoing decline. “Some of the same people that sank this country are suddenly singing redemption songs,” he observed.
While many hope for a united front to bring progress, Charley Boy warned that not all coalitions serve the people. “Let’s not pretend that every alliance is progress. Sometimes, it’s just old wolves in new agbada,” he said, questioning whether these political figures are motivated by genuine change—or just a hunger for power.
He challenged Nigerians to differentiate between authentic reformers and opportunists. “Are they shouting ‘enough is enough’ because they’ve changed… or because they’re no longer the ones benefitting?” he asked.
For Charley Boy, the 2027 elections should not be about revenge or replacing one elite with another. Instead, he called for a national awakening grounded in new values, new visions, and courageous leadership. “We don’t just need new names. We need people with the guts to live by real values,” he declared.
He ended with a sobering reminder: “Let’s not trade one oppressor for another with nicer grammar. Let’s ask the hard questions now, before our dreams of a better Nigeria are again snatched from us.”
