Charly Boy took to his X handle on Tuesday to deliver his message. He expressed frustration over the current leadership, accusing them of being corrupt and indifferent to the suffering of ordinary citizens.
In his post, Charly Boy stated, “Dear Nigerian Youths, by now you should understand the gravity of our situation. Progress requires sacrifice. Those in power are deeply entrenched and corrupt.”
He continued, “We are governed by thieves, liars, and people who couldn’t care less about our lives. This is a crucial battle, and you are the ones who will make the difference. We must defeat this monstrous regime by getting louder and pushing harder.”
