Entertainer and activist, Charles Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy, on Friday disclosed how former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, once visited him at his home with a “Ghana Must Go” bag filled with unexpected items.
In his post titled “The Day Peter Obi Surprised Me With Ghana Must Go,” on Facebook, Charly Boy said Obi had called him around 1 a.m. to request an early-morning visit.
Charly Boy wrote in pidgin:
“Peter Obi call me say, ‘My Senior bros, I wan come see you, but I no too sure if u fit don wake about the time I for like come.’ Like what time? I asked. ‘Maybe around 5:30 or 6.’
“Na so u wan disturb my early momo exercise parole and my scooter ride? I queried. Without overthinking it, I said ok. Anything for my Presido. Sharp, sharp, by exactly 5:45 am Obi show.
“No African time, a man of his word. As I come downstairs to meet him, na so I see one big Ghana Must Go by the entrance of my sitting room. I look the bag, I just dey wonder, wetin fit dey inside this bag?”

According to him, the two of them spent almost two hours talking about politics, Nigeria, and family matters.
After Obi left, Charly Boy said he checked the bag and found it packed with traditional snacks. He wrote:
“We siddon gist about Nigeria, about politics, about family etc, for almost 2 hours. Na so Obi come say, ‘See small thing I bring for you.’ I said, Thank you, sir, without even opening it. As Obi waka go, I say make I peep inside this bag. My people, you can never imagine wetin full inside this bag.
“Inside the bag were 3 bottles of roasted groundnuts. Many alegator peppers, kola nuts, pawpaw, oranges, agara, mangos, bananas etc. wey Obi pack by himself. I just no know when I fall for ground begin laugh.”
Charly Boy added that he later called Obi to thank him.
The politician replied, “Senior I no fit give you money, but I fit give you this one, na my hand pick.’ Which kind native intelligence pass this one. Dis Peter na Okute. But I love the bobo no be here. Na so I say, Obi thank you oh.”
Reflecting on the moment, Charly Boy said the gesture touched him more than money could.
“Sometimes na the little things go remind you say life no too hard. Na kolanut and bitter kola wey Obi dash me sweet me pass money,” he wrote.
Charly Boy has been a consistent supporter of Obi and often speaks publicly about his admiration for him.
