Charly Boy Criticizes Deji Adeyanju Over Bribery Claims Against Peter Obi
Entertainer and social critic Charles Oputa, better known as Charly Boy, has taken a swipe at activist lawyer Deji Adeyanju over his recent claims against former presidential candidate Peter Obi.
Adeyanju had alleged that Obi once tried to bribe him during the 2023 presidential campaign, saying the Labour Party flagbearer invited him for a discussion and later handed him a brown envelope of money, which he claimed to have rejected.
Reacting to the allegation, Charly Boy dismissed it as a blatant lie and warned Adeyanju not to drag Obi’s name through the mud. He accused the activist of chasing clout and working for selfish interests, saying Adeyanju could easily sell out for “30 pieces of silver.”
Sharing his thoughts in Pidgin on X, the self-styled Area Fada said Obi remains one of the few politicians who still give Nigerians hope for a better country, unlike Adeyanju who, according to him, has reduced himself to an errand boy for money-driven politics.
He cautioned that such “reckless and irresponsible behavior” could land Adeyanju in legal trouble, stressing that the struggle is for a new Nigeria and not for clout-chasing.
Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
The Federal Government of Nigeria has officially declared the holiday dates for the festive season.
Thursday, December 25 will be observed as Christmas Day, December 26 as Boxing Day, and Thursday, January 1 as New Year’s Day.
The declaration was made by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, Dr. Magdalene Ajani. He also added that Nigerians should celebrate the holidays in faith and pray for the nation.
