Legendary performer Charles Oputa, also known as Charly Boy, has taken a swipe at Novel laureate, Wole Soyinka.
Recently, Soyinka has made statements regarding matters of national significance and has criticized Labour party Presidential candidate, Peter Obi’s supporters, also known as “Obidients”.
CharlyBoy stated in a post on his Instagram profile that he respected Soyinka almost as much as he respected his late father, late Judge C.A. Oputa, known as the Socrates of the Supreme Court.
He said it has now dawn on him that Soyinka can never be the man late Nigerian novelist, Chinua Achebe, was.
Charly Boy added that the Nobel laureate who many Nigerians put on a high pedestal has ‘’reduced himself to a boyiboyi for criminal politicians”.
‘’The kin respect I had for dis man, was almost the kind of respect I had for the late Justice C.A.Oputa, The Socrates of the Supreme Court.
It has finally dawned on me that Soyinka can never be the man Chinua Achebe was.
The kogi is not ordinary, he should be very measured anytime he makes a public statement.
Look at a man many Nigerians put on such high pedestal reducing himself to a boyiboyi for criminal politicians.
What a f..king big shame”
