Motorcycle Operators Union Debunks Claims of 2,500 Bikes from Charly Boy

The Motorcycle Operators Union today vehemently denied reports circulating that entertainer Charly Boy distributed 2,500 motorcycles to its members in Lagos.

In a statement issued on Wednesday and signed by the National Secretary, Comrade Ade Ikuesan, the union labeled such reports as “figments of imagination.”

“Our Union is not aware of 2,500 okada given to our members. This is not true,” the statement read. “We have a strong Union and if such a significant event happened, we would know.”

Comrade Ikuesan further emphasized the unprecedented nature of such a claim, stating, “According to him, no single individual in Nigeria has ever given 500 okada to our members, not to talk of 2,500.”

The union urged “flippant commentators not to drag our Union into their parochial battle.” Ikuesan clarified the extent of Charly Boy’s past engagement with their members, noting, “Charley Boy is not our member. He only recruited some of our members anytime he wants to organize rallies for a fee.”

The National Secretary reiterated that there is “no record of Charly Boy or anyone giving 2,500 okada to its members.”

Comrade Ikuesan concluded by urging journalists to “always investigate their stories and not to rely on rumors.”
