Veteran Nigerian entertainer, Charles Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy, has warned Nigerians against directing negative comments towards former member of the Labour Party (LP), Kenneth Okonkwo.

Recall that Okonkwo, who was the spokesperson for the LP presidential campaign in the 2023 general election, on Sunday, announced that he no longer believes that the LP could wrestle power from the All Progressives Congress (APC).

In a letter he shared on social media, Okonkwo put the majority of the blame on Obi’s handling of the crisis rocking the party.

Responding, Obi said Okonkwo was not a mole in the LP despite his criticisms against him.

Commenting on the development, Charly Boy said having a different opinion from the former presidential candidate does not make Okonkwo an enemy.

Posting on X, the entertainer wrote: “PO has a legendary way of making an enormous energy & time deployed in senselessly attacking him look like a waste of energy & time.

“Disagreements and differing opinions are a natural part of any group, society, or movement, and it is essential to maintain a level of respect and decorum even when we disagree.

“Having differing views does not make someone an enemy, and it is crucial to engage in constructive dialogue rather than resorting to personal attacks or negative remarks.

“In fact, to me personally, I don’t want to work with anyone who always agrees with me, because as a leader, learning and listening are critical components of leadership. I want to listen to those who have different opinions and try to convince them otherwise or take their advice if it is better.”
