According to Mr. Onwumeodo, Charly Boy was hired by Mr. Okorocha's opponents in 2014 and premiered his attacks on the governor during the burial of his father, Justice Chukwudifu Oputa. The attack, said the state government, was after Charly Boy had received financial support from the government for the burial of the late jurist.
The Imo State government alleged that Charly Boy was recruited this year by opponents of President Buhari, who wanted to exploit the illness of the President through the demand for his resignation by protests headlined by OurMumuDonDo Movement.
