Celebrity singer Charles Oputa aka Charly Boy has stated that he is yet to endorse any presidential candidate for the forthcoming 2023 general election.
He stated this during an interview on Arise TV.
According to the social activist, the presidential candidates are yet to come up with a “different story” and “inspire hope,” which informed his hesitation.
He stressed that he will “interact with and interrogate” the candidates.
Charly Boy also noted that he will announce his preferred candidate by November.
When asked about his preferred candidate, he said: “I’ve been under intense pressure to say who my preferred candidate is, but I’ll say that at my own time when it is right,” Charly Boy said.

“It’s because I still have to interact with and interrogate as many candidates as possible so that I know exactly what I’m telling my children to do.”
“They have to come up with a different story, not the one we’ve been used to for a long time. They have to inspire hope, that person must be who we look up to and emulate.
“We have the history of most candidates, we know what’s what, and part of the problems we have today is ourselves.
“However, I think hopelessness has united a lot of outstanding, exceptional youths of this country, and I just hope that this great change that we desire, that we so badly need, will happen at least while I’m still alive.”
