President Muhammadu Buhari has come under fire for pleading for forgiveness from Nigerians after "deliberately mismanaging" the nation for eight years, according to veteran Nigerian singer Charles Oputa, better known by his stage name Charly Boy.

According to The Daily Post, President Buhari begged Nigerians to forgive him for any wrongs he may have caused them in his Eid-el-Fitr message, saying, "All those that I have hurt, I ask that they pardon me."

Charly Boy responded via a video message posted to his Twitter account, saying that he does not accept the president's apology.

He accused Buhari and his party of “intentionally” mismanaging Nigeria in the last eight years.

He said, “Dear, General Buhari, apology not accepted! At least, by me.

“Abeg abeg, stop forming. The power that you hungered for, at you don test ham na; the second time. And this your second coming wad to perfect what you failed to complete on your first. Are you happy now?

“Many will agree with the fact that Nigeria in the last eight years has been intentionally and deliberately mismanaged under your watch and the APC cabals with impunity and intensity.”
