Go Contest For Oba Of Lagos!” – Wike’s Aide Blasts Charly Boy In Fiery Rebuttal

Lere Olayinka, Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media to the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has dismissed recent remarks by popular entertainer Charles Oputa, also known as Charly Boy, who claimed that Lagos belongs to no one.

Charly Boy made the comment in reaction to the renaming of a well-known bus stop in Lagos.

The Bariga Local Council Development Area had changed the name of the “Charly Boy” bus stop to “Olamide Baddo”, in honour of music star Olamide Adedeji.

Charly Boy, opposing the change, described Lagos as “a no man’s land,” comparing it to New York City in the U.S.

Responding via a post on X, Olayinka sarcastically challenged Charly Boy to contest for traditional leadership positions if he truly believes Lagos belongs to no one.

He wrote:
“To those shouting ‘Lagos is no man’s land,’ the next time the Oba of Lagos’ seat is vacant—after the current Oba has lived his full days—go and contest for it.

You can also try for titles like the Osolo of Isolo, Ogiyan of Ejigbo, Olu of Mushin, or even become the Oniru, Ojora, Oloto, Elegushi, Aromire, Bajulaye, Ashogbon, Olumegbon, or Oluwa.”
