Festus Keyamo, spokesman of
the President Muhammadu Buhari Campaign Organisation, has denied the claim that
he paid an amount running into “nine figures” to Charles Oputa, popularly known
as Charly Boy.
Charly Boy made the
allegation in a video interview, after an earlier claim by Deji Adeyanju,
Convener of Concerned Nigerians, that he collected money from Keyamo.
In an attempt to clarify
the supposed circumstances under which he collected the money, Charly Boy had
alleged that Keyamo paid the said amount to him for a song he composed against
Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
However, taking to Twitter
on Friday evening, Keyamo debunked Charly Boy’s claim, stating that anyone who
believed he paid a penny for any song by the latter needs to have their heads
examined.
In a series of tweets,
Keyamo wrote: "1. I’ve been having some good laugh. Whoever thinks that I
would pay a penny for a song by @Areafada1 that disses both the APC and PDP
must have his/her head examined. If the quarreling parties want to hurt their
egos by bandying phantom figures, they should leave me out of it.
"2. As we’ve said
before, some of us ran the PMB campaign on zero budget as volunteers whilst the
opposition was paying $90,000 monthly to an American lobbyist (N400 million per
year). It’s therefore preposterous to suggest that a 9-figure amount or any at
all was paid for a song!
"3. In the world of
entertainment, it’s the culture of most (not all) entertainers to raise their
stock in the public by bandying phantom figures for their engagements &
some others display phantom acquisitions on social media to attract attention
and raise their worth for clients.
"4. I’ve always
encouraged @Areafada1 & @adeyanjudeji, who are my long-time friends &
clients to continue on the path they chose for themselves. I will hate to see
them fall apart. Therefore it behoves us all to work together to put things
right. I always enjoy vibrant opposition!"
