Maverick artist, Charles Oputa, better known as Charly Boy, has alleged that the President Bola Tinubu-led administration is contemplating the arrest of Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the recent elections, due to his ongoing criticism of the government.
He cautioned that any efforts to arrest or prosecute Obi could lead to unprecedented resistance.
He also advised the Federal Government to proceed carefully to avoid igniting nationwide turmoil with what he described as “an illegal arrest” of Obi.
On his X handle, Charly Boy wrote: “There’s a report of an attempt of arrest on Peter Obi, by Tinubu’s Government over Peter Obi’s consistent refusal to back down on calling Tinubu out towards good governance and accountability.
“Any arrest or charges against Obi must be met with a resistance as never seen in the history of Nigeria before, and the Obidients are ready for it. Tinubu’s government must tread with caution not to set this nation on fire with an illegal arrest of HE Peter Obi. We call on Tinubu’s government to desist from her evil plans against Peter Obi because Nigeria will not remain the same.”
