President of the Senate, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, on Sunday
evening, accepted the apology of Nigerian singer/songwriter,
Charles Chukwuemeka Oputa aka “Charlyboy”, who erroneously stated
that an image of the Senate President’s 2012 visit to Ogoniland,
was a picture of the Senate President after being chased by youths
in Kwara.
After a 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
@AreaFada1 handle on twitter, later apologized to the politician,
stating that he was in a hurry to post before verifying the
veracity of the story.
Saraki, through his Twitter handle @BukolaSaraki, tweeted back
at Charlyboy, stating that he accepts his apology. He said:
“Dear Charlyboy (@Areafada1), I appreciate your coming forward
to admit that your post against me was ill-conceived.
It takes a lot to do that.
“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.’”

me was ill-conceived. It takes a lot to do that. https://t.co/kuS5FUW5yT— Bukola Saraki (@bukolasaraki) March 11, 2018
