One reason I love uncle Charly is his brazen boldness....the popular showman had earlier warned that the tribute organized by the Imo state government for his late father, Justice Chukwudifu Oputa should not be a political affair...strictly a tribute but as fate would have it, the organizers went contrary.
Charley Boy had on Wednesday evening suddenly stormed out of tributes event held at the newly built International Conference Centre in Owerri.Speaking with some journalists in Owerri, Charley Boy accused Governor Rochas Okorocha of trying to use his father’s burial to score cheap political point, describing him as a deceit.
He said the government held a colloquium in honour of his late father and that despite his earlier warning that the burial should not be politicized, Governor Okorocha gathered all the members of his political party and wanted to turn the event into an APC rally.
The event witnessed the presence of Senator Chris Ngige; national chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Odigie Oyegun, former deputy governor of Imo State, Dr. Douglas Acholonu, Eze madumere among other dignataries.
Trouble erupted when the APC chairman, Oyegun stepped up to speak..immediately he got on the podium, the angry Charley Boy fumed about how his father’s burial was being turned into APC event. He suddenly rose from his seat and stormed out of the event taking his siblings and family members along.
