The leader of the socio-political movement #OurMumuDonDo Movement , Charles Oputa, more popularly known as Charly Boy has admitted that he collected millions of naira, in nine figures specifically, in the run-up to the country’s presidential election in February, from Festus Keyamo, a spokesman for President Muhammadu Buhari’s campaign team. He however said that the money was for the right to use a song he composed recently.
“When Keyamo came to discuss Deji’s matter, he heard my new song that I was working on…where I was dissing Atiku. I don’t care. But if you want to use my work, you pay for it. Of course, he paid for it. And they paid heavy,” he said.
Charly Boy in the interview also said that others in the #OurMumuDonDo, including the co-convener of the movement, Deji Adeyanju, who quit the group earlier in th week demanded that he share the money with them.
The song, ‘Another Guy Man,’ was posted on YouTube on January 25th and has so far, 6, 687 views on Charly Boy’s channel as at Friday morning. In the music video, he criticizes both People’s Democratic Party and All Progressives Congress, with more scathing criticisms reserved for PDP’s Atiku Abubakar while President Buhari was left out totally.
Adeyanju had earlier in the week, accused Charly Boy of betraying the movement by collecting a bribe from the Buhari campaign organization while he (Adeyanju) languished in prison.
However, Adeyanju claimed he rejected offers of about $2 million made to him by the agents of the Nigerian government to quit opposing the government
“Since 2017 till date, I have been offered over $2million to compromise but I refused. If I had, they wouldn’t have sent me to Kano Central Prison or tried to charge me for terrorism & other crimes,” Adeyanju tweeted on Wednesday.
