Obasanjo reveals the exact moment he changed his mind about Charly Boy

Former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo has opened up on his perception of Nigerian entertainer, Charly Boy. While speaking during an interview with media personality Isbae U on Curiosity Made Me Ask, Obasanjo explained that he initially had little regard for Charly Boy because of his unconventional appearance and lifestyle, despite having great respect for his late father, Justice Chukwudifu Oputa.

He noted that his opinion of him, however, changed after he witnessed how he cared for his late parents.

“Charly Boy is so jagajaga that I don’t know anything about him. Can you see a man who dressed like a woman? Like a gentleman, who dressed like a bushman. I run away from him because he’s too jagajaga. But he has a good father, Justice Oputa. Oh, what a great man. I wish Charly Boy had resembled him.”

Obasanjo revealed that Charly Boy remained dedicated to his father until his death and also cared for his mother, adding that witnessing such care changed his perception of the entertainer.

“When I first came to know Charly Boy, I had no iota of regard or respect for him. But when I went to visit Justice Oputa in Charly Boy’s house. And then I went inside the house. I saw how Justice Oputa was being taken care of. So I started changing my mind about Charly Boy,” he recalled.

Obasanjo also lauded Charly Boy, describing him as intelligent and dedicated.
