Controversial singer Charles Oputa, widely known as Charly Boy, has alleged that the Federal Government under President Bola Tinubu is plotting to arrest Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the last election, because of his ongoing criticism of the administration.
Charly Boy warned that if the government proceeds with arresting or pressing charges against Obi, the public’s backlash would be unprecedented in Nigeria’s history. He urged the Federal Government to proceed with caution to avoid igniting widespread unrest through an “illegal arrest” of Obi.
On his X (formerly Twitter) account, Charly Boy stated:

“There’s a report of an attempt of arrest on Peter Obi, by Tinubu’s Government over Peter Obi’s consistent refusal to back down on calling Tinubu out towards good governance and accountability.
“Any arrest or charges against Obi must be met with a resistance as never seen in the history of Nigeria before, and the Obidients are ready for it. Tinubu’s government must tread with caution not to set this nation on fire with an illegal arrest of HE Peter Obi. We call on Tinubu’s government to desist from her evil plans against Peter Obi because Nigeria will not remain the same.”
