Ahead of the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal judgement holding today, Nigerian singer and activist, Chukwuemeka Oputa aka Charly Boy has vowed to carry on with his planned “occupy Abuja” protest.
The septuagenarian popularly known as area father had on Tuesday, called on supporters of the Labour Party (LP), known as “Obidients” to occupy all streets in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) ahead of today’s judgment.
The controversial singer who made the call via his handle on X (formerly known as Twitter) stressed that the move was necessary to retrieve their mandate, which he claimed was stolen.

He wrote: “We must retrieve our stolen future from these criminals or be ready to face the most horrific hardship ever.”
Charly Boy also warned the likes of Asari Dokubo, MC Oluomo, Kabaka and other political thugs to stay away to allow a peaceful protest.
“Anyhow, we must occupy all the streets of Abuja before 6am,” he wrote on X.
“We will start with all the streets surrounding court house. Nobody is dying tomorrow, we know about their scare tactics.”
Charly Boy had earlier muted the idea that the broadcast of the judgment to be delivered on the case brought by former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, and former Anambra State governor, Peter Obi, against the election victory of President Bola Tinubu at the February 25 polls, is a trick to prevent Nigerians from storming the court premises.
“The PEPT may not air the live broadcast of the final verdict on the 6th of September 2023 the former announcement could be a trick to prevent Nigerians from coming to the court on that day,” he had noted.
However, insisting on the protest, he wrote on Wednesday on his X handle asking God for protection.
He wrote: “Gods protection to all my children on the street today. Proud of you all.
“Pikin wey do pass em papa, na very good child. You all will be guided today by the almighty. This is the beginning of our journey to freedom and to retrieve our stolen future.
“I have always said that, “The salvation of this Country lies in the hands of its Exceptional Youths” It shall be well for all who believe. I thank all lovers of a New Nigeria and the Great Obidient’s. Na una dey give me the ginger. God bless you all,” he said.
