Nigerian veteran entertainer, Charles Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy, on Monday led the BringBackOurGirls movement march to the Aso villa to mark the three-year since the abduction of the Chibok girls.
The march is part of the movement’s eight-day activities to commemorate the three-year abduction of Chibok girls.
Speaking with journalists at the entrance of the Aso Rock villa in Abuja, Charly boy, who expressed his frustrations at the state of security in the country said even;”Nigerians are too docile.”
He opined that if the government could not also guarantee the safety of its citizens, their protection “is no longer guaranteed.”
While calling on the government to intensify efforts to bring back the Chibok girls from captivity, he said it was high time the FG takes action.
”It seems our mumu never do, because if our mumu don do, our girls should have been back but i see that we are to a government that is insensitive and don’t care for its citizens,They can’t do anything for us, and for government that cannot protect its citizens that government is sitting on a keg of gun powder, the cheaters we all have here, cannot be guaranteed, if our protection is no longer guaranteed, theirs cannot be guaranteed, bring back our girls.
“There is enough impunity, enough of misgovernance, everything is wrong with Nigeria and I am just mad because my fellow frustrated Nigerians are just too docile. It is time to do something, they can’t give us a good life. So what are we leaving for. Me I no dey live say I go die for nothing. I must die for something,” he stated.
On her part, former Minister of education minister and leader of the#BringBackOurGirls (#BBOG) advocacy Oby Ezekwesili thanked Charly Boy for standing up for the Chibok girls and added that his actions showed that the Chibok girls belong to all.
“We want to appreciate Charly Boy for being the face of #IMatchForChibokGirls today, thank you for being an important conscience of the nation, especially i, waking uo the younger people to the fact that our mumu don do. You dont just have daughters but granddaughters and your coming out shows that our Chibok girls belong to all of us.
“For as long as we are Nigerians, we share in the heritage of our Chibok girls and by being the one that matched for them today, you are calling on us all especially the leaders that have the responsibilty to bring our girls back to their duties and that silence on our Chibok girls is unacceptable.
