Veteran entertainer, Chukwuemeka Oputa, also known as Charly Boy, has advised the Nigerian youths across the country to protect their votes at their polling units during the 2023 general elections.
He made this known in a recent interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja on Friday.
Charly Boy said the youths are in the best position to make the country right again.
The 72-year-old revealed his displeasure at the current state of the country and governance. He said the salvation of the country lies at the hands of the youths so securing their votes is the first step.
He said, “I have told them that the salvation of any country lies in the hands of the exceptional people; these people are the great Nigerian youths.
“They already know their rights, but my call to them is that they should stand and defend those rights at the polling booths.
“However, the opposition wants to do it, I know that the boys are ready to give them back what they get. I don’t have chills in that area; all I can do is wish them well and pray for their safety.
“Nigeria is getting dangerous for my liking, and because of years of disunity and inaction, there are some sacrifices that need to be made and we are going to make these sacrifices.”
