A post by Charly Boy read, “Come on. Wey una President? Is all well with him?
“Tinubu’s propaganda machine has been over heating the country with very fake and twisted lies, but propaganda cannot substitute for economic policies.
“Come ooooo, na Peter Obi make Nigerians dey suffer like dis? Na Peter Obi show APC how empty dey are?
“Has fake propaganda become the tactic deployed by APC in all political strata, to continue disparaging and attacking any perceived opposition with all ethnic and religious spears by their cronies. Obi has continued to bore the brunt of these malicious individuals.”
He called for President Tinubu’s resignation, stating, “Nigeria has failed. Tinubu pls resign, this work pass you.”
The artist also linked the ongoing economic hardships to poor governance rather than to political opponents such as Peter Obi, highlighting what he perceives as a tactic by the ruling party to undermine opposition figures through ethnic and religious divisiveness.
