Veteran singer Paul Okoye, better known by his stage name Rudeboy, has been transparent about why he has stopped making political comments on the situation in Nigeria.
The musician admitted that he no longer keeps up with the affairs of Nigeria in a recent interview on Cool FM.
The artist, whose last public comments were during the general elections of 2023, expressed disappointment with the results of his prior participation.
Rudeboy acknowledged that his prior attempts at political debate had not yielded the intended outcomes.
Expressing his frustration, the singer said:
“I’m sorry. I don’t have any opinion anymore. The last opinion I did was during the election and I am not saying anything anymore. Nothing concern me again. Anyhow wey una wan run the country, make una run am. I’m building my own country myself now.”
In a differt story, Rudeboy recently made a shocking disclosure during an interview with City 105.5FM.
He revealed that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had arrested him last December at the request of his twin brother, Peter Okoye. Rudeboy claimed that his brother’s seeming disapproval of his lifestyle was the main reason for his incarceration.
Rudeboy recalled being confused and wondering, “What did I do?” after being threatened with a 20-year prison sentence. He clarified that his detention resulted from his brother’s petition and that his account statements were printed out while the matter was being looked into.
Rudeboy conveyed his relief at not having engaged in fraudulent activities, saying that it would have had disastrous consequences for him.
Paul Okoye further said that about a month ago, a family meeting was held, and Rudeboy was cleared of all allegations by the EFCC officials. Despite being declared innocent, Peter Okoye didn’t apologize for his actions. Rudeboy attributed the allegations to their differing lifestyles, stating that he’s a businessman who saves money, whereas his brother spends lavishly.
