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.
Charlyboy, who uses the @AreaFada1handle on twitter, later apologized to the politician, stating that he was in a hurry to post before verifying the veracity of the story.
“Apology to Senate President Saraki. My earlier post on Senate president Bukola Saraki was incorrect. I admit I was in a hurry to post before verifying the veracity of the story. I apologize for this avoidable error,” he wrote.
