Veteran singer and activist Charles Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy, has made a chilling prediction about Nigeria’s 2027 general elections, urging citizens to adopt a “rig and die” mentality to protect their votes.
Speaking in a recent interview on Jay On-Air, Charly Boy expressed deep concern over the state of governance in Nigeria, claiming that the current administration under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is ten times more corrupt than that of the late President Muhammadu Buhari.
“The corruption in the current administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is ten times worse than the last administration of the late former President Muhammadu Buhari,” he said.
He emphasised that Nigerians must take drastic measures to ensure their votes count in 2027, warning that the road to change will be turbulent.

“All I’m interested in right now is, will our votes count in 2027? How do we do it? How do we get these monsters away from leadership positions?”
“But I’m hoping to see ‘rig and die’ come 2027. Blood will flow; before it gets better, it will get worse.”
Charly Boy criticised tribalism and political favouritism, stating that corruption cuts across all ethnic lines.
“It’s not about whether Mr A can steal more than Mr B. The people stealing our national wealth are from all the tribes. We know the game.”
His comments have sparked intense reactions online, with many praising his boldness while others caution against inciting violence.
As Nigeria approaches another election cycle, Charly Boy’s message adds to the growing chorus of voices demanding electoral reform, transparency, and accountability.
