Charly Boy, veteran Nigerian entertainer, has warned politicians against manipulating the results of the 2027 general elections.
Gatekeepers News reports that speaking with Rudolf Okonkwo on 90 Minutes Africa, the septuagenarian, popularly known as Area Fada, described the upcoming nationwide poll as a turning point for the country. He declared that the slogan for the election would be “rig and die”.
Area Fada said, “The 2027 election will be a defining moment for Nigeria. Anybody that plans to rig should be ready to die. It is rig and die.”
“Because by that time, our eye go clear well well. E don clear small o. What we are about to see in 2026 will make Nigerians decide whether to continue in this manner or to cause a revolution to happen in this country.”
Charly Boy stressed that credible elections are key to tackling bad governance. He said, “ The solution to bad governance in Nigeria can only come when our votes begin to count. So, our concern right now should be how our votes would count in 2027.”
Reacting to the Lagos State Government’s recent decision to rename the Charly Boy Bus Stop in Bariga, the entertainer described the move as “outright silly and a bloody distraction”.
He emphasised that his main priority remains finding ways to rescue millions of Nigerians who go to bed hungry every day.
