WATCHING THE EXTREMES OF CHARLY ‘BOY’ OPUTA

Charly Boy Oputa, the maverick musician, should watch his involvement in double-dealing otherwise his rating would soon drop drastically.

The other day Charly Boy was involved in the demonstration that involved Pastor Tunde Bakare for a good cause which sought an end to the hide-and-seek game that has to do with ailing President Yar’Adua. At other time he led demonstration to the National Assembly, nonetheless for about the same good cause though Bakare’s group said that he was not representing them at this later siege at the National Assembly. And yet in another but ‘unworthy’ cause, Charly Boy was seen at the National Assembly complex again with some youth group seeking the reappointment of INEC Prof Maurice Iwu whose tenure ends soon.

Further on another unworthy cause, the New Star newspaper of April 5-6, 2010, page 16 under the story “Ibori confers with Uduaghan (his cousin) over recent political development” Charly boy with his power bike was sighted with James Ibori at the Asaba Government House, probably as in company of the former governor for the infamous confer.

Charles Oputa who will be 62 this year though still adopts the name Charly Boy; son of the respected retired judge of the Supreme Court, Justice Oputa, should be careful to avoid wasting his family’s good reputation as he hobnobs and fights for causes that are considered unworthy.
