Bitter Obi: Charly Boy, Nigerians Slam Onanuga Over Derogatory Remarks Against Peter Obi, Tell Him What He Should Be Doing
Veteran singer Charles Oputa, widely known as Charly Boy, has criticized Bayo Onanuga, the Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, for labeling the presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the last election, Peter Obi, as “bitter”.
Onanuga’s reference to Peter Obi as “Bitter Obi” stemmed from a tweet mocking the former Anambra State governor’s recent engagement in Canada.
Expressing his disappointment, Charly Boy condemned Onanuga’s action, deeming the derogatory name-calling of Obi unjustifiable.
He emphasized that Obi had never endorsed or incited any form of violence against the state or government, making such derogatory remarks unwarranted.
Charly Boy urged the presidential aide to shift his focus towards addressing pressing issues such as the declining performance of the Naira in the forex market, escalating insecurity, rampant hunger, poverty, and pervasive corruption undermining the administration of his principal.
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.”
@Nigerian: The Tinubu administration has stopped governing as their attention is now concentrated on employing malicious tactics to sow disunity and instigate division and unrest among people and communities throughout Nigeria.
@Ugowil: Old cr-ok Bayo Onanuga is a tribal bigot whose politics is based on ethnicity, religion and criminality.. He played a devilish role in the killings of some Igbos in Lagos during 2023 election and he is at it again.
@Prince85X: Peter Obi name with such disrespect is how they feed from Tinubu corrupt system
@codshalom77: Bayo Onanuga is a media LAP DOG! So unfortunate for a man with his kind of media experience! Tinubu really did Nigeria in!
@anuforo: Men without shame and integrity, instead of them finding solutions to the moribund state of the country’s economy they sit on the sofa and gossip their lives out. Bayo Onunuga, keeping calling Peter Obi’s name and don’t try and find solution to the debilitating economy. They are all opportunists…I know many would like to hug Transformer after reading this especially, some gullible youths and the follow- follows…
@izutex4life: What you have to understand is that H.E Peter Obi has become a household name in the politics of Nigeria today so any unserious Fellow sees it as an opportunity to trend both online and offline thereby calling him names to generate traffic in order to be relevant in the society
@FunkeJide49704: There is no point in responding to Bayo Onanuga. He’s desperately trying to to remain relevant and keep his principal happy. His comment does not reflect or reduce Peter Obi. It merely reflects the state of his mind first towards himself, then PO.
