Veteran singer and social activist Charles Oputa, often known as Charly Boy, has openly expressed his dissatisfaction with the renaming of Lagos’ National Arts Theatre after Prof Wole Soyinka.
In a bold statement on his X handle Friday, Charly Boy stated that he will no longer respect or hold Wole Soyinka in high regard, citing his strong disagreement with the decision.
