Charles Oputa, also known as Charly Boy, a veteran Nigerian singer, has criticized President Muhammadu Buhari for begging Nigerians for forgiveness after what he called a deliberate mismanagement of the country for eight years. In his Eid-el-Fitr message, the president begged Nigerians to forgive him for any way he may have hurt them, saying, "all those that I have hurt, I ask that they pardon me."
In a video message shared on his Twitter handle, Charly Boy said he does not accept the president's apology. He accused Buhari and his party of intentionally mismanaging Nigeria for the last eight years. He said, "Dear General Buhari, apology not accepted! At least, by me. Abeg abeg, stop forming."
He further added, "The power that you hungered for, you have tested it twice, and this your second coming was to perfect what you failed to complete on your first. Are you happy now? Many will agree that Nigeria in the last eight years has been intentionally and deliberately mismanaged under your watch and the APC cabals with impunity and intensity."
Charly Boy's statement has generated mixed reactions on social media, with some supporting his views while others criticizing him for being too harsh on the president. The issue of mismanagement of the country and the president's apology is likely to continue to be a subject of debate among Nigerians.
