Veteran entertainer and activist Charles Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy, has revealed how Labour Party’s former presidential candidate, Peter Obi, paid him an unexpected early-morning visit bearing a ‘Ghana Must Go’ bag filled not with money but with fruits and local delicacies.
Sharing the encounter on his X handle, Charly Boy narrated that Obi called him around 1 a.m., announcing he would stop by his home at 5 a.m. Despite the unusual timing, the veteran singer said he welcomed the idea.
When Obi arrived, Charly Boy said he was stunned to see a large Ghana Must Go bag placed at the entrance of his living room.
“I look at the bag, I just dey wonder, wetin fit dey inside this bag?” he wrote in pidgin English, before explaining that the bag contained roasted groundnuts, alligator pepper, kolanuts, pawpaw, oranges, bananas, mangos and other locally sourced items — all handpicked by Obi himself.
The entertainer said he broke into laughter when he discovered the bag’s contents, adding that Obi told him: “Senior, I no fit give you money, but I fit give you this one, na my hand pick.”
Charly Boy, a prominent supporter of Obi and a member of the Obidient movement, described the gesture as an act of “native intelligence” that reflected Obi’s simple and personal approach to relationships.
The two men reportedly spent nearly two hours discussing politics, family, and the state of the nation during the visit.
Charly Boy was one of Obi’s most vocal celebrity allies during the 2023 presidential campaign, often using his platform to mobilise support for the Labour Party candidate.
