Former President of Nigeria, Dr.
Goodluck Jonathan has accepted the apology of Aminu Shagari, son of former
President, Shehu Shagari, for working against him in 2015.
Aminu Shagari, a member of the
House of Representatives, had apologised to Jonathan for supporting President
Muhammadu Buhari to win the 2015 Presidential election.
Aminu said he apologised to
Jonathan following what he described as Buhari’s inability to effectively
tackle some of Nigeria’s challenges.
“Let me use this opportunity to
tender a public apology to former President Jonathan and seek forgiveness
because I helped to divide the Peoples Democratic Party and bring down his
government, but, I have found out that what we thought about his stewardship
was not entirely true.
“I expect President Buhari to
also ask for forgiveness having found out that most of the things he accused my
dad’s and President Jonathan’s administrations of are not true,” he said.
Reacting to Aminu’s apology on
Monday on his verified Facebook page, Jonathan thanked him for the apology,
saying he never took offence.
He said his firm belief was that
he was a pencil in the hand of God, saying he therefore had no enemies to fight
because of his confidence that people could only do to him what God permitted.
Jonathan urged him to continue to
emulate the humility of his father, a most detribalised Nigerian.
In his words: “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.
“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. May God bless you.”
