“Peter Obi Surprised Me With ‘Ghana Must Go’ Gift Bag”- Charly Boy

Veteran entertainer Charles Oputa, widely known as Charly Boy, has shared a light-hearted story about an unexpected visit from Labour Party’s former presidential candidate, Peter Obi.

Taking to his X (formerly Twitter) account, Charly Boy explained in pidgin that Obi showed up at his home carrying a large “Ghana-Must-Go” bag.

The two men reportedly chatted for nearly two hours about Nigeria, politics, and family matters. Before leaving, Obi pointed to the bag and said, “See small thing I bring for you.” Charly Boy thanked him without checking the contents.

Curiosity later got the better of him. “As soon as Obi left, I peeped inside,” he recounted. “My people, you won’t believe what I found three bottles of roasted groundnuts, plenty of alligator pepper, kola nuts, pawpaw, oranges, agara, mangoes, bananas, and more. All hand-picked by Obi himself.”

Charly Boy said he couldn’t help but laugh and later phoned Obi to express his appreciation. According to him, Obi replied, “Senior, I no fit give you money, but I fit give you this one na my hand pick.”

A longtime supporter of Obi and a prominent member of the Obidient movement, Charly Boy campaigned vigorously for the Labour Party during the 2023 presidential race.
