Veteran singer and social activist, Charles Oputa, often known as Charly Boy, has stated that he will no longer respect Nobel Laureate Professor Wole Soyinka.
Charly Boy, a vocal adversary of President Bola Tinubu, made the claim in a post on his official X Twitter on Friday in response to the renaming of the National Arts Theatre in Iganmu, Lagos after Soyinka.
In honor of Soyinka on his 90th birthday, President Tinubu declared that the facility would be renamed after him.
In response, Charly Boy opposed the move in his post, claiming the "Mighty have fallen,"
He wrote, “Uncle WOLE I henceforth withdraw all the respect I once had for you.
“When late Jimmy Johnson talked about you in the 90s, I thought he was only yabbing you.
“Wow! How some of our MIGHTYs have fallen, for beans, ewa, dodo, is it for rice’?
