Popular Nigerian singer/songwriter, Charles Chukwuemeka Oputa, also known as Charlyboy, has pleaded for forgiveness for erroneously stating that an image of the Senate President, Bukola Saraki’s 2012 visit to Ogoniland was a picture of the Senate President after being chased by youths in Kwara.

Series of Twitter users, including Saraki’s Head of New Media, Olu Onemola, called Charlyboy’s attention to the fact that the picture he posted was taken during then-Senator Saraki’s oversight visit to Ogoniland, as the Chairman of the 7th Senate’s Committee on Environment and Ecology.

“I agree that we all see things from our respective lenses, but without disregard to what is permissible by an average mind. It is therefore imperative that we observe circumspection at all times so we don’t have to say the avoidable ‘sorry.’”
