Veteran showbiz maestro, Charles Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy has reacted to the Lagos government’s decision to rename the popular Charly Boy Bus Stop in Bariga to Olamide Baddo Bus Stop, in honour of the rapper and Bariga native, Olamide Adedeji.
Recall that the Bariga Local Council Development Area (LCDA) announced the renaming of the well-known Charly Boy Bus Stop to (Olamide) Baddo Bus Stop on Friday during the inauguration of a series of people-oriented projects.
According to the LCDA Chairman, Kolade Alabi, several streets within the council were renamed, this including inaugurated community-focused projects.
The commissioned projects include a new legislative chamber, 21 roads spread across the LCDA, five primary health centres, three newly constructed primary schools, and a fire station.
Alabi stated that these projects were designed to improve the council area’s infrastructure, education, and emergency response services.
Speaking, the LG chairman explained the motivation behind the renaming of the streets, he said: “As an administration, we took our time to reflect on a number of our people who have put the name of our local council out on the global map through their respective God given talents and craft.
“I also want to thank eminent personalities in our nation and our beloved state, as well as the Local Council, who have contributed immensely to the development of our nation and our state. Today, we will be officially renaming streets in honour of the legacies”
The development has since sparked mixed reactions on social media.
Reacting, the veteran entertainer via his Instagram on Saturday simply stated: “Na dem sabi. Dia fathers.”
