Entertainer and activist Charles Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy, has recounted how former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, once surprised him with a “Ghana Must Go” bag filled with unexpected items.

Charly Boy shared the story on Friday through a post on his Facebook page titled “The Day Peter Obi Surprised Me With Ghana Must Go.”

According to him, Obi phoned him around 1 a.m. requesting to visit between 5:30 a.m. and 6 a.m. “Peter Obi call me say, ‘My Senior bros, I wan come see you, but I no too sure if you fit don wake about the time I for like come.’ Like what time? I asked. ‘Maybe around 5:30 or 6,’” Charly Boy narrated in pidgin.

He explained that despite his hesitation, he agreed, and Obi arrived promptly at 5:45 a.m. “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?”

The two reportedly spent nearly two hours discussing politics, Nigeria, and family matters. Afterward, Obi left the bag behind as a gift.

“When I peep inside, my people, you can never imagine wetin full inside this bag,” Charly Boy said. The bag contained three bottles of roasted groundnuts, kola nuts, pawpaw, oranges, mangoes, bananas, alligator peppers, agara, and other local snacks — all carefully packed by Obi himself.

He revealed that when he called Obi to thank him, the politician responded, “Senior, I no fit give you money, but I fit give you this one, na my hand pick.”

Charly Boy noted that the gesture touched him deeply, 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.

The entertainer, a well-known supporter of Obi, has consistently expressed admiration for him. In 2023, Charly Boy even vowed to walk naked in celebration if Obi had won at the election tribunal. That same year, Obi, while marking Charly Boy’s birthday, described him as a man who speaks truth to power and holds leaders accountable.
