Charly Boy, a renowned musician and activist, has issued a stern warning to the Federal Government, led by President Bola Tinubu, against arresting or prosecuting Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s former presidential candidate. According to Charly Boy, Tinubu’s government is planning to arrest Obi due to his persistent criticism and demands for good governance and accountability.
Charly Boy took to his X handle to caution the government, stating that any attempt to arrest or charge Obi would be met with unprecedented resistance in Nigeria’s history. He warned that the Obidients (Peter Obi’s supporters) are prepared to resist any illegal arrest or persecution of their leader.
He wrote,
“There’s a report of an attempt of arrest on Peter Obi, by Tinubu’s Government over Peter Obi’s consistent refusal to back down on calling Tinubu out towards good governance and accountability.
“Any arrest or charges against Obi must be met with resistance as never seen in the history of Nigeria before, and the Obidients are ready for it. Tinubu’s government must tread with caution not to set this nation on fire with the illegal arrest of HE Peter Obi. We call on Tinubu’s government to desist from her evil plans against Peter Obi because Nigeria will not remain the same.”
Charly Boy’s warning comes amid growing tensions between the government and opposition figures, who have been critical of the administration’s policies and actions. The musician’s statement has sparked a wave of reactions on social media, with many Nigerians expressing support for Peter Obi and warning against any attempts to silence him.
Hmmmmmm let obi too stop criticizing the current government. It’s not that easy to get things done easily when everything has spoiled years ago
It’s always easier to correct when you aren’t in that position and knows what it actually feels like
What are you saying. So you will be in the river and allow soap enter your eyes. Is the government doing well like this? Someone or people have to talk when things are getting out of hand. One year and nothing tangible has been achieved and you want nobody to talk. Dey play. Make dem arrest am now make we see
Make nobody arrest obi o nawa o
If one isn’t satisfied with how the government handle things, they should join hands too
They won’t there to arrest him. All his criticism are on point
Tinubu and his touts wouldn’t dare to unless they wants to set the nation on fire
Can you remember how this same useless government criticized Jonathan government back then, did anyone arrest them. Some of you people just support blindly at it is bad
Arrest him for what? They should do the right thing and stop threatening people who criticize their bad government.
It’s the way government feel like they can arrest anybody or anything for me

They should not even dare to arrest him, that will be a very big issue, focus on how to improve the economy and leave obi alone
On what grounds will they even arrest him when he didn’t commit any crime.
