Nigerian veteran Charly Boy has expressed his displeasure over the women-led protests in support of Senate President Godswill Akpabio amid his legal battle with Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan for alleged sexual misconduct.
The singer posted a video of the women in the streets protesting in support of the senate president, condemning the act as a setback for justice and women’s rights in Nigeria.
He wrote in part, "See Yeye 10k Women wey full house.It is disappointing that so many Nigerians choose to minimize and dismiss sexual misconduct whenever a woman exposes it. This culture, where women are expected to either conform or face punishment, is not only appalling but dangerous."
The women who defend accused men are even more troubling because they too reinforce a system that silences victims and protects perpetrators from accountability."
