Nigerian entertainer, Charles Oputa, popularly known as Charley Boy, has called on Nigerian youths to be calm and not to overreact to the “annoying” 2023 election results declared by INEC.

Mr Oputa, who reacted to the gathering of some youths at the Unity Fountain, said the gathering was to protest the alleged bogus election result declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

“I believe in what they are doing, and I am here to show support,” Charley Boy said in an interview.

He added, “The election result is the most bogus, most annoying and a financial disaster looking at the money wasted on the exercise by the federal government.”

Mr Oputa expressed satisfaction with the conduct of Nigerian youths in the electoral process.

Isaac Balami, the convener of the peaceful walk, said the gathering was to protest the 2023 presidential election results released by INEC.

He said INEC had broken the code and peace accord reached by political parties by failing to deliver on its promises.

Mr Balami attributed the huge turnout of voters across the country to promises made by INEC that the election would be transparent and that their votes would count.

He alleged that INEC’s Bimodal Voters Accreditation System (BVAS) stopped working in the middle of elections when it discovered that the APC was losing the election.

Mr Balami said the non-celebration of the APC victory across the country indicated that the election result was not a reflection of the people’s choice.
