Obasanjo and Charly Boy's Banter at Anyaegbu's Birthday

A clip featuring former President Olusegun Obasanjo and entertainer-activist Charly Boy trading jokes at Chief (Dr.) Chidi Anyaegbu's 70th birthday party has gained significant attention online. The event took place on September 14, 2026, a day after Anyaegbu's actual birthday on September 13, 1956.

Anyaegbu is recognized as the founder and chairman of Chisco Group, a prominent player in Nigeria's transport and logistics sectors. In the video, Obasanjo, dressed in traditional blue attire, engaged Charly Boy, who wore a black cowboy hat and maroon outfit, in a light-hearted banter that elicited laughter from the audience.

The exchange referenced Obasanjo's military past, particularly his authoritative phrase "now I am in charge." Their camaraderie is rooted in a long-standing relationship that dates back to Charly Boy's late father, Justice Chukwudifu Oputa. The contrasting styles of Obasanjo and Charly Boy consistently create a vibrant atmosphere during their public appearances.
