Maverick actor Charles Oputa popularly called Charly Boy on Saturday has opened up over images of him that have gone viral where he was seen at the airport on wheelchair.
Many had mocked the actor over the images making references to his spread of the photos of the Chief Justice of the Federation Kayode Ariwoola, who was accused of disguising on wheelchair to go meet the president elect, Bola Tinubu in London.
With his images at the airport on a wheelchair also gone viral, Charly Boy said he was tired at the airport and asked that he be wheeled by an official.
“I apologize if I made anybody worry about me.
“No be say anything dey do me. I just lazy/tired as I dey waka upandown for airport. So I tell officials make dem just dey push me around😜
I no dey form Chief Justice oooo and I no disguise myself to go see Tinubu for London sha.”
However, in what looked like a further confirmation that the actor was not in the best form of shape, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party Mr. Peter Obi had said he visited him at home because of what “ill health.”
Yesterday, I paid a visit to my very dear elder brother, Charly Boy @AreaFada1, at his residence in Lagos following the recent news of his ill health. I was happy to meet him in his usual high spirit and cheerful mood and was convinced that he is the overcomer that he has been.”
Obi said he met Charly Boy in high sprit adding “I was happy to meet him in his usual high spirit and cheerful mood and was convinced that he is the overcomer that he has always been. We spent quality and fraternal moments discussing the way forward for our dear country.”
