Charles Oputa, the veteran singer and activist widely known as Charly Boy, has lashed out at the Bariga Local Council Development Area (LCDA) for removing his name from a popular bus stop and replacing it with that of music star Olamide.
The bus stop, previously known as Charly Boy Bus Stop, was renamed Baddo Bus Stop as part of a new street-naming initiative announced Friday by Kolade David, chairman of the Bariga LCDA.
The rebranding move also honoured other prominent Nigerian entertainers such as 9ice, Tony Tetuila, Bukayo Saka, and King Sunny Ade.
However, Charly Boy has condemned the decision, describing it as an attempt to erase his legacy due to his long-standing history of activism and resistance.
