Street protests can’t change our leaders, says Charly Boy

The convener of ‘OurMumuDonDo Movement’,Charles Oputa, a.k.a “Charly boy”,is calling it quits with street protests having come to the realization that “street protest will not change our leaders .”

He said he is, therefore, boycotting street protests over national issues, and urged advocates of good governance and patriotic Nigerians to resort to engaging the leaders through other non-violence avenues. “I have spent over 40 years of my life leading protest for a better society, and I can tell you that street protest will not change our leaders,” he said.

“I am not a professional protester, so now I have decided to use other means to hold leaders accountable.” “All over the word, the Arts, especially music have been used to inspire people and change narratives towards a better society. “It is time they are reminded that power truly belongs to them and there is a social contract between them and elected political leaders.
