Entertainer and activist Charles Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy, on Friday shared on Facebook how the former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, once surprised him with a ?Ghana Must Go? bag filled with things one can ?never imagine.?

In the post titled ?The Day Peter Obi Surprised Me With Ghana Must Go,? Charly Boy said Obi phoned 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, they spent nearly two hours discussing politics, Nigeria and family matters.

After Obi left, Charly Boy said he peeped into the large bag the politician had brought along, only to find it filled with traditional snacks.

He narrated, ?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 said he called Obi to express his gratitude, only for the politician to tell him, ?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.?

The activist noted that the gesture touched him more than money could, and was a reminder that life is not too hard.

?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, a public promoter of Peter Obi, has always vocalised his support for the politician.

In 2023, he declared his intention to walk naked on the street to jubilate if Obi emerged victorious at the election petitions tribunal.

Celebrating Charly Boy?s Birthday in 2023, Obi had also stated that Nigeria needs more men like the activist ?who can speak truth to power and hold the leaders accountable.? (The PUNCH)
