He made the call in response to a gathering of some youths at the Unity Fountain, who were protesting what they described as a “bogus” election result. Charly Boy expressed his support for the protesters and their cause but urged them to remain peaceful.
“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,” he said.
Charly Boy also expressed his satisfaction with the conduct of Nigerian youths in the electoral process, stating that they have shown great maturity and restraint despite the challenges they faced.
Isaac Balami, the convener of the peaceful walk, said the gathering was to protest the 2023 presidential election results released by INEC. He accused INEC of breaking the code and peace accord reached by political parties by failing to deliver on its promises.
Balami claimed that the Bimodal Voters Accreditation System (BVAS) used by INEC stopped working in the middle of the election when it became clear that the All Progressives Congress (APC) was losing.
He also alleged that the non-celebration of the APC victory across the country was an indication that the election result was not a reflection of the choice of the people.
Despite the grievances expressed by some Nigerians, Charly Boy urged the youths to remain calm and avoid overreacting to the election results. He warned that any violent protests could be used against them by their enemies, calling on them to use their heads and not let their emotions get the best of them.
