Nigerian musician Charly Boy has called for the resignation of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu after his sudden absence from the country.
On May 6, 2024, Charly Boy expressed his concerns about the president’s location and condition on his social media account, X, following the president’s attendance at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Saudi Arabia.
“Come oooo. Wey una President? Is all well with him? Tinubu’s propaganda machine has been overheating the country with very fake and twisted lies, but propaganda cannot substitute for economic policies”.
Charly Boy claimed that the president’s vanishing act was a deliberate scheme orchestrated by the All Progressive Party (APC).
He said, “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. Nigeria has failed. Tinubu pls resign, this work pass you”.
President Tinubu’s absence raised concerns among Nigerians about his well-being, location, and the country’s leadership.
However, reliable sources from the Presidency, as reported by the Wakadaily, have stated that Tinubu traveled to London after his participation in the WEF’s Special Meeting on Global Collaboration, Growth and Energy for Development in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on April 28, 2024.
“I really don’t know, he (the president) has left Saudi Arabia and he should be in London now, but I don’t have details. I don’t have an idea about it (the purpose of the president’s trip to London), but I think it is a private visit,” the source explain.
