Entertainer Charly Boy has slammed Nobel Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka, for accepting a national honour from President Bola Tinubu.

This was after Tinubu honoured Soyinka with the Grand Commander of the Order of the Niger title on June 12, 2025.

According to Charly Boy, the same Soyinka refused to accept the title when it was offered by the administration of former president Goodluck Jonathan.

He said that whatever reason given for rejecting the title at the time could also be found with Tinubu.

"In 2014, this man rejected an award from President Goodluck Jonathan, citing democratic principles. Today, he accepted the same award from Tinubu, who is far more undemocratic. You decide if this man lives on his own principles or is he an overrated ethnic bigot...," Charly Boy wrote on X.
