Veteran entertainer and socio-political activist Charles Oputa, better known as Charly Boy, has backed President Bola Tinubu’s decision to remove fuel subsidy.

Reacting to the controversies surrounding the developments of the removal of fuel subsidy and skyrocketed new pump price of petroleum products the Petroleum Motor Spirit, PMS is currently sold above N500 per litre across the country.  Charly Boy, a strong supporter of the presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the last election, Peter Obi, backed the removal, saying there is no better time than now.

Charly Boy took to his official Twitter handle to share his opinion and that the fight is beyond support for his preferred candidate, but the alleged criminal elements disturbing the country’s economy. He wrote, “Listen and be informed. Okonjo Iweala bares it all on the subsidy removal. There can be no other time, and the time is NOW. “My fellow Nigerians this fight is really not about Obi. It’s about the criminals who insist on stealing our national patrimony leaving us poor and hopeless”.
