Charly Boy made the disclosure via his official X handle, noting that many Nigerians were initially surprised by his closeness to the former head of state, given his long-standing reputation as a rebellious figure and outspoken critic of government authorities.

Sometimes respect and understanding build bridges where people least expect,” he wrote.
