Brief: ‘Let’s Face 2027 Elections’ — Charly Boy Shrugs Off Bus Stop Renaming.
Musician and activist Charles Oputa, aka Charly Boy, has downplayed the renaming of the Charly Boy Bus Stop in Gbagada, Lagos, urging Nigerians to focus instead on the 2027 general elections.
Speaking on The Morning Brief, he said the gesture was not a priority, stressing that recognition should go to anyone who has served their community — including new honoree, music star Olamide.
Charly Boy, who once lived in Gbagada and contributed to the area, said the bus stop was originally named after him in the early 1990s. However, he insisted that national issues, especially political accountability and credible elections, matter more than symbolic name changes.
He warned Nigerians not to support leaders who serve personal interests and called for a people-focused, honest, and self-reliance-driven leadership in 2027.

"You Can Change the Signboard, Not the Legacy!" — Charly Boy Blasts Renaming of Iconic Lagos Bus Stop
Veteran entertainer and activist Charly Boy (Area Fada) is calling out the Bariga LCDA after his namesake bus stop was renamed in honour of music star Olamide Badoo.
While Bariga LCDA Chairman Kolade David says the change celebrates global icons from the area, Charly Boy sees it as a politically driven erasure attempt.
"You can replace a signboard but not a spirit... The name Charly Boy was given by the people, not politicians," he declared on X.
He slammed the move as a fear-driven act meant to bury his activist legacy — one that shook tables and empowered communities.
"Legacy lives in the hearts you’ve changed, not the street signs you alter."
