Maverick singer Charles Oputa, known as Charly Boy, has reminded Nigerian leaders of the transient nature of power. He used former Rivers State governor Chibuike Amaechi as an example, recounting how the former minister had to wait in the same departure lounge as him at the Abuja International Airport.

Writing on X, the activist shared, “Time & Tides; Nigerian Mumu Leaders; Once your reign is over: ‘The hypocrites are gone. The sycophants are gone. The bootlickers are gone. The MOPOL security men are gone. DSS are withdrawn. Soldiers are re-assigned. FAAN staff no longer shake or shiver at your presence.
You no longer have access to Rivers State aircraft. You cannot afford to charter an aircraft from your personal income. Then Amaechi has to stay in the same departure lounge in Abuja with me (an Alagbado man), waiting for an aircraft that was delayed for 1 hour.’”
Charly Boy concluded with a poignant reminder: “Whatever position you occupy presently that makes you believe that you are superior to your colleagues, please remember that it is temporary. Power is transient.”
