<h2>Following some backlash from social media users, Nigerian singer, Charly Boy, has apologised for his insensitive comment regarding President Bola Tinubu's recent fall at the 2024 Democracy Day ceremony.</h2>

<p>Taking to Instagram on June 12, 2024, the veteran acknowledged his misguided comment in a previous post, highlighting that everybody makes mistakes once in a while.</p>

<p><em>"Who never fuck up raise ur hand. We all at one point or the other, don mis-step, made mistakes and learnt to correct ourselves. Even our great gallant Peter Obi can misstep."</em></p>

<p>Charly Boy went on to acknowledge the lack of empathy in his previous post and apologised for it.</p>

<p>He said, <em>"But e be like say millions of Nigerians no get any kind of empathy for dis APC rulers because they feel badly robbed. Robbed of the people’s choice! I am sorry if my previous post lacked sensitivity.</em></p>

<p><em>"However, I support a president wey no go mistep, not just climbing on to the stage. Tinubu’s misstep on and especially off stage is a source of concern to millions of Nigerians. How can we as citizens help correct these missteps,?" </em>he added.</p>
