Speaking in a recent interview, Charly Boy said his father was not a politician and therefore his death should not be used for politics as he is prepared to embarrass any politician who tries to hijack the burial plans.

"This is a warning to those who are already making plans to use his death to advance their political careers. When he was sick, nobody visited him in the hospital except his family.

"Whatever arrangement, anybody is making, the family must be carried along. I will not hesitate to embarrass anybody who wants to take the family for granted. I am not against the federal government giving my father a state burial because he deserved it, but the family must be carried along in whatever plans they are making," Charly Boy said.

He said that his father who was at loggerheads with him for sometime, apologised to him before his demise.

He added that the family was yet to announce the burial arrangements.

Asked to describe the life his father lived, he said:

"He was not too  different from Charly Boy. He was a book warm; philosopher, poet and legal luminary.  While he wore suits and ties, I dressed like a mad man. That’s the only difference between him and myself. But we think alike and have the same approach to life. That’s why we were able to bond."
