Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State has renamed the newly reconstructed Obinagu Road in honour of folktale music legend ‘Gentleman’ Mike Ejeagha.
Mbah praised Ejeagha as a great icon and said the renaming was to celebrate him while he is still alive.
The governor made this announcement during the commissioning of four roads in the Abakpa Nike area of Enugu, including the newly named Mike Ejeagha Crescent.
He said the renaming is part of his promise to the people of the state to focus on projects that positively impact lives.
Governor Mbah also visited Mike Ejeagha at his home to show appreciation for the musician’s contributions to Enugu’s cultural heritage.

“We have renamed Obinagu Road, leading to his residence and reconstructed earlier in the year, to Mike Ejeagha Road.
“Enugu is a state rich in history, talent, and culture. It is our duty to honour and celebrate those who have shaped our identity,” Mbah said.
He assured the residents of Abakpa and the entire Enugu State that more projects are on the way, including the construction of 141 roads and 20 rural roads, with Abakpa included.
He also announced the upcoming dualisation of Penocks Junction on the Enugu-Onitsha Road, extending to Opi-Nsukka.
Mbah reiterated his commitment to improving the lives of the people of Enugu State through ongoing and future projects.
Beyond Boders recalls that Mike Ejeagha’s 1983 song “Ka Esi Le Onye Isi Oche” recently gained popularity through a viral dance challenge started by comedian Brain Jotter, whose real name is Chukwuebuka Emmanuel Amuzie. The challenge has given the song a new wave of fame among content creators.
