Barely a week after admitting that he received money in excess of N100 million from President Muhammadu Buhari’s campaign team to stop the attacking the President, the co-convener of “OurMumuDonDo” movement, Charles Oputa a.k.a Charly Boy, has retracted his statement.
THE WHISTLER had reported how Deji Adeyanju, a former co-convener of the group, alleged that Charly Boy opened up to him about receiving money from “the oppressors” when he confronted him (Charly Boy) with the allegation.
Charly Boy himself had granted an interview where he claimed the spokesperson of the Buhari campaign, Festus Keyamo, paid him “heavily” to redirect his criticisms of President Buhari to Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the defeated presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
“When Festus Keyamo came to discuss Deji’s matter with me, he heard my new song where I was dissing Atiku, he paid for the song because he wanted to use my song. I don’t mind collecting money if you want to use my song.
Asked how much Keyamo paid him, he said: “He (Keyamo) paid heavy money, nine figures … Everybody wanted a part of the money including Deji and I did not mind sharing it,” he told Roots TV.
