‘America’s election shows Nigerians can change direction of government’ – Charly Boy

Veteran entertainer Charly Boy has urged Nigerians to use their votes to hold politicians accountable in the 2027 general elections, saying the recent US midterm elections have shown that citizens can determine the direction of their government.

In a post on Instagram, Charly Boy said American voters had reminded politicians that political power belongs to the people, regardless of how powerful their political structures may appear.

He urged Nigerians to question the records of those seeking their votes, particularly on security, job creation, affordable living and opportunities.

“America just give us another reminder say no matter how powerful you be, no matter how much political structure you get behind you, the people still get a voice, and that voice fit change the direction of government,” he wrote.

Charly Boy also warned Nigerians against treating elections as opportunities to collect gifts from politicians.

“Nigerians must also remember that our votes are our voices,” he said.

He added: “Democracy no be spectator sport, it’s not about sharing rice.”
