Controversial singer Charles Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy, has praised the Labour Party’s presidential candidate for the 2023 election, Peter Obi, describing him as Nigeria’s “Jesus on earth.” Charly Boy commended Obi for celebrating his 62nd birthday with thousands of displaced persons in various IDP camps in Plateau State, where he donated checks and truckloads of food items to them.
Taking to his Twitter handle, Charly Boy shared photos from the event and expressed his admiration for Peter Obi’s generosity and compassion towards the less privileged. He compared Obi to Jesus, emphasizing that he sees him as a beacon of hope and a true leader who cares for the welfare of the people.
In contrast, Charly Boy took a dig at some other political figures, suggesting that they lack the empathy and concern for the suffering masses that Obi demonstrated during his birthday celebration with the IDPs.
