Former President Goodluck Jonathan has accepted the apology of Aminu Shagari son of former President Shehu Shagari after working against him in the run-up to the 2015 presidential election.
Mr Jonathan stated this in a Facebook post on Monday, saying he never took offence.
“Dear Honourable Aminu Shagari, Thank you for your apology. However, I never took offence. My firm belief is that I am a pencil in the Hand of God,” he wrote.
“Therefore, I have no enemies to fight, because of my confidence that people can only do to me what God permits. I urge you to continue to emulate the humility of your father, the late President Shehu Shagari, a most detribalised Nigerian…”
Aminu, a three-term House of Representatives member, had apologised to Jonathan for supporting President Muhammadu Buhari in winning the 2015 presidential election.
In his apology to Jonathan, Aminu criticised Buhari for his inability to effectively tackle some of Nigeria’s challenges.
Meanwhile, Buhari had in 1983 toppled the democratically elected government of Shagari.
