Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the winner of Saturday’s general election, has been criticised by veteran artist and media figure Charles Chukwuemeka Oputa, also known as Charly Boy. Speaking disparagingly about the APC presidential candidate, Charly Boy brought up his alleged drug trafficking and “conviction” while he was a resident of the United States.
Charly Boy expressed worry about how Nigeria is now viewed internationally on his verified Twitter handle on Thursday in response to Tinubu’s choice as President Muhammadu Buhari’s successor.

Recall that the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate was declared the winner of the February 25th presidential election by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Wednesday, March 1, 2023. However, Charly Boy, a fervent supporter of Peter Obi of the Labour Party, said Tinubu should be given a brief period to enjoy the INEC certificate of return.
He stated: “Lord have mercy. The only certificate BAT (Bola Ahmed Tinubu) has ever had, please let him enjoy it for some time.”
“My fellow Nigerians, we already have a problem with our image abroad, to add an alleged drug baron as our president to the mix is suicidal to our global image. Nigerians, na so we go leave am? This na very bad market for us oooo. To dey get visa go come dey hard small,” the entertainer tweeted.
