A renowned Nigerian performer, entertainer, publisher and
producer Charles Chukwuemeka Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy,
revealed why he had left the venue of his late father’s lying-in-state,
without any warning.
* Late Justice Oputa and his son Charles
The ceremony in honour of Charly Boy’s late father, Justice Chukwudifu Oputa, took place in the capital city of Imo State, Owerri, on Wednesday.
This
move has stunned many people present, including Governor Rochas
Okorocha, the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC),
Odigie Oyegun, members of state executive council and many others.
All
the people were seated inside Owerri International Conference Centre,
when Charly Boy suddenly walked out the venue. This move made many
attendees speechless and with many questions in their minds.
Some
people alleged that the Area Fada had walked out of the conference
centre to attend a short-term personal issue, which required his
presence outside the hall in person. But it was not considered as a true
reason.
His Royal Punkness told his security, cameramen and aides
inside the hall that he was done with the event, ordered them to follow
him immediately.
According to Nigerian Tribune, Charly Boy made
the decision when the service had nearly turned into some sort of a
political rally.
The entertainer was far from being happy with this development.
Pro-Okorocha
people and many APC supporters besieged the venue hours before the
arrival of the state governor. They were dancing and singing as they
awaited him.
Governor Okorocha came into the venue amid cheers
from the people. In his speech, he eulogised the late Oputa, described
him as a man of high integrity, who, until his death, did not compromise
on what he stood for.It the same time, Charly Boy, was angered
by the fact that the lying-in-state was heading into the wrong
direction, and was not about commemorating for his father, but more
about politics.
Area
Fada was also annoyed by the late arrival of Imo State Governor and his
team to the venue. This caused a significant delay in the start of the
event.
