Renowned Nigerian singer and activist Charles Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy, has weighed in on the heated dispute between Senate President Godswill Akpabio and Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan—a controversy that has ignited national debates on gender, power dynamics, and accountability in Nigerian politics.
Taking to his official X (formerly Twitter) account, Charly Boy condemned the dismissive attitude toward allegations of misconduct, particularly when raised by women.
He expressed frustration over the way society often downplays such claims, writing:
"See Yeye Women wey full house.
It is disappointing that so many Nigerians choose to minimize and dismiss sexual misconduct whenever a woman exposes it. This culture, where women are expected to either conform or face punishment, is not only appalling but dangerous.
The women who defend accused men are even more troubling because they too reinforce a system that silences victims and protects perpetrators from accountability."
While Charly Boy did not mention specific names, his statement aligns with the ongoing Akpabio-Akpoti-Uduaghan saga, which has dominated headlines in recent days. The feud between the Senate President and the female senator has intensified, with allegations and counterclaims fueling speculation and debate.
Though the exact details of their disagreement remain unclear, the issue has reignited conversations about women’s roles in Nigerian politics, power struggles within the National Assembly, and the fight for justice and accountability.
Stay tuned as the controversy unfolds.
