Charly Boy makes u-turn, denies collecting money from Keyamo | Nairalaw

Charles Chukwuemeka Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy has
refuted his earlier confession that he collected money from Festus
Keyamo, SAN, to release a diss song against Atiku Abubakar.

Charly boy, explained on Tuesday that he released such video,
one each against both the APC and PDP presidential candidates at
the eve of the 2019 general elections, but was not paid by
anyone.

He added that he remain non-partisan,and was neither in support
of any political party, as his yearnings was for the
not-too-young-to –run mantra to strive.

“For someone to believe that I collected money in nine digits
from a politician for a video clip is laughable, because even if I
am Davido or Wizkid, who will pay me such amount.

“Some persons are bent on denting the brand that I have built
over the years, but I am not deterred because the struggle for a
better Nigeria must continue, and my mouth cannot be shut,” he
said.

Meanwhile Mrs Folake Agunbiade, who is the Knowledge Management
and Learning Manager of ‘OurMumuDonDo’ Movement, has said that
Charlyboy, remains the Chairperson of the group

She disclosed this during a Press Conference in Abuja.

According to Agunbiade, there are baseless trendy reports,
especially on social media, that Charly boy has been relieved of
his position as the group’s chairman because of an alleged
financial transaction.”

“In this wise, the management of Ourmumudondo restates that
there is no change in the corporate governance of the movement, and
Mr Charles Oputa (aka CharlyBoy) remains the chairman of the
organisation”

“We acknowledge several social media reports on the alleged
transaction between Charlyboy and Mr Festus Keyamo,Spokeperson of
the Buhari Presidential Campaign Organisation.”

“The organisation wishes to state clearly that the alleged
transaction did not arise from or on behalf of its activities or
projects, and therefore it has no implication for our credibility
as a movement.

“We want all Nigerians of goodwill to know that the allegations
and counter allegations have no bearing on the movement and its
activities,” She said.

This is coming days after National Secretary of the group,
Adebayo Raphael issued a statement after an emergency meeting,
announcing the decision of the group to relive Charly Boy of his
position.

“That we have come to the doleful conclusion that you step aside
as a Trustee of the Foundation and as the Convener of the
OurMumuDonDo Movement within 24hours starting from the moment you
receive this letter today, 22 March 2019. Failure to comply with
this recommendation shall leave us with no other option but to ask
members of the public to cease any further dealing and interface
with you, and we shall not hesitate to take all necessary lawful
steps to ventilate our remonstrance and ensure that the credibility
of this Foundation is protected,” Raphael noted in the said
statement.

Charly Boy admitted in an interview that Keyamo paid ‘heavy
money’ to use his diss song against Atiku, the main challenger of
President Buhari in the 2019 elections.

The co-convener of #OurMumuDonDo Movement, Deji Adeyanju, who
resigned from the movement on Wednesday, had accused Charly Boy of
collecting money from the presidency during his (Deji) stay at Kano
Central Prison.

The song, ‘Another Guy Man,’ was posted to YouTube on January
25. It has 6,693 views and 44 comments on Charly Boy’s channel as
