Charles Chukwuemeka Oputa (AKA CharlyBoy) has given reason he advocated for the release of leader of the Indigenous people of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu.
In a post he shared via his Facebook page, he
maintained that he stand for equal rights and
justice. Charly said,
"For whatever reason, no man deserves to be
ilI-treated in his fatherland as Nnamdi Kanu.
Hence, the need for my inclusion in the ever-
growing calls for his release at the time. I am
for equal rights and justice, period.
"Advocating for the okada community doesn't
necessarily make me an okada rider.
Advocating for gay rights, doesn't make me gay.
"Everybody is witness to the several injustices
against the Igbo's, we may differ on methodology. Biafra for me is a mindset. If
there was no great injustice in the land, there
would be no call for Biafra. So don't get it
twisted.
"Sometime in January 2017, I wrote about my
thoughts on the Biafra and the many things
my Igbo kinsmen can alternatively dedicate
their all to.
"I titled the article 'The illusion called Biafra',
those who haven't read it should read it up
because what I wrote therein will always be
my stance on Biafra.
"We should channel our energies and abilities
towards developing the South-East to become
the economic-hub of Nigeria. Igbo nation and
my people are great but for us to move
forward, we must kill these individualistic tendencies, and come together to do great things.
"Let it be clear to all that the sufferings and
poverty of the People from the South East is
also the sufferings and poverty of the peoples
from the other geopolitical zones in Nigeria
including my northern brothers. Even the
nascent anti-corruption fight in the country
has seen all tribe accordingly represented.
"Therefore, I conclusively insist that Our Mumu Don Do because; The Failure of Leadership is evident in our agitation for Fairness, Justice and Equality for every Nigerian not just for every Igbo man.
"And so the Mind of the typical Igbo Leader
Needs a Revolution so that it can be realigned
for the interest of the people rather than the
interest of a few.
