Former President Olusegun Obasanjo and ex-Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose have reconciled after 19 years feud.
Obasanjo says he has forgiven Fayose for his ‘sins,’ putting an end to the long political rift between the duo.
The former president made this known when he spoke on Saturday at the 65th birthday celebration of Fayose held in Lagos.
Obasanjo said the occasion called for celebration, reflection, and correction.
“You are not the best of my political children, but you have made achievements that must not be ignored.
“Even to get me to come here, you could not approach me directly. You sent Osita (Chidoka) to come and sound me out. When Osita, who also is a political child, came, I said, ‘Well, if he (Fayose) has sent you and you have delivered the message, then tell him that you have delivered the message.
“So, you have asked for forgiveness, and as far as I’m concerned, you are forgiven. But the right lessons must be learnt,” Obasanjo said.
The duo have not been on good terms since 2006.
