Charles Oputa, often known as Charly Boy, a veteran Nigerian singer, mocked former Rivers State governor and former Transportation Minister Rotimi Amaechi when he was spotted sitting in the departure lounge of Abuja Airport waiting for a delayed flight.
Charly boy, who uploaded the photo of the former Rivers State governor on the X platform, said it was a humbling experience for Amaechi, who was not used to it while in office.
The activist wrote on X, “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 DSS are withdrawn.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.
“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.”
