Nigerian musician, Charly Boy, expressed high praise for Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 election. Charly Boy equated Obi to Jesus Christ and referred to him as the “chosen one.” He commended Obi for his humanitarian efforts and for celebrating his 62nd birthday by visiting and assisting thousands of displaced persons in various IDP camps in Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State.
In a social media post, Charly Boy wrote that Obi’s actions demonstrated his commitment to a new Nigeria. He also made a comparison, stating that he considers Peter Obi as his personal Jesus on Earth, contrasting him with unnamed individuals who are out of touch with reality.
It’s important to note that Charly Boy is known for his provocative and controversial statements, and his likening of Peter Obi to Jesus Christ should be understood within that context.
He wrote: “Yesterday, His Excellency Peter Gregory Obi celebrated his birthday with over 18,000 displaced persons in different IDP camps in Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau state, He handed cheques and truck of food items to them and assured them of a new Nigeria.
“I don tell una say Peter na my own Jesus on earth, no be like some great grandfather wey suppose go tanda for der village dey still measure Prik with small children.”
