Peter Obi, former Labour Party presidential candidate, stated that he never commissioned any project during his time as Governor of Anambra State because he felt it was unnecessary.
Obi shared this in a widely circulated video where he responded to the renaming of Charly Boy Bus Stop in Lagos State.
He mentioned that while he was governor, no street or facility was named or renamed in his honor.
It was recalled that the Bariga Local Council Development Area (LCDA) recently announced the renaming of several streets within its jurisdiction, including changing Charly Boy Bus Stop to Olamide Baddo Bus Stop.
This action sparked widespread anger nationwide, with many demanding the change be reversed immediately.
In the video, Obi, speaking with Charly Boy, described the Bariga LCDA’s decision as “irrelevant.”
Obi said, “To me it is totally irrelevant when you have millions of people who don’t know where their next meal will come from.
“Whether they change it to A or B…. As governor, I refused to let streets, buildings or anything be named after me. I built a facility in the hospital, the proprietor said it should be named after me or my mother but I said no.
“That’s why people are saying that I didn’t do much publicity when I was governor, that I would have put my name on all the streets and every facility that I built.
“I didn’t even commission anything. That’s why people are saying that I didn’t do this, I didn’t do that.

“For me, whatever I did was with public money, so I didn’t see the relevance of putting my name on them.
“Even when I become President, my name is not going to be in any of the facilities. All I want is for the facility to function.”
