Enugu State Governor, Peter Mbah on Monday, paid a courtesy visit to veteran highlife musician, Mike Ejeagha, of the ‘Gwo Gwo Gwo’ fame, where he renamed the popular Obinagu Road in Abakpa Nike in the state after the singer.
Mbah who made the announcement during the commissioning of four roads in the Abakpa Nike area of Enugu, said the Obinagu Road will henceforth be called Mike Ejeagha Crescent.
He also promised to take full responsibility for the upkeep of the 93-year-old musician who became an internet sensation in July after content creator, Brain Jotter, used his ‘Gwo Gwo Gwo’ song for a dance challenge which shot him into limelight.
While speaking during the event, the Governor said it was important to recognize and honour the achievements of the veteran musician while he is still alive.
