Obasanjo Critiques Charly Boy's Past at London Event

At a book launch for the 999 memoir in London, former President Olusegun Obasanjo made shocking remarks about his longtime friend, music icon Charly Boy, alleging that he was once a drug addict and an "ashawo." This declaration, made while Charly Boy stood nearby, surprised many attendees. Despite the bold claims, Obasanjo and Charly Boy have maintained a close friendship over the years, often appearing together at various events.

Earlier in 2026, Charly Boy celebrated Obasanjo's 89th birthday, presenting him with a large gift that delighted the crowd. The joyful atmosphere of that event starkly contrasted with Obasanjo's candid comments at the book launch, drawing significant attention and reactions from the public.

Additionally, a clip from Obasanjo’s appearance on "Curiosity Made Me Ask" featured Charly Boy in the background, further showcasing their relationship.
