Former Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola on Sunday reconciled with Sikiru Olaboye, whom he said made an attempt on his life nearly two decades ago.
Aregbesola disclosed this in a Facebook post.
The former Osun governor said, “Earlier today, I received Sikiru Olaboye, one of the men who attempted to assassinate me during the 2006 Oroki Day Celebration in Osogbo.
“I was informed that he called into a local radio station in Osogbo a few weeks ago to seek my forgiveness.
“Today, while praying for him, I assured him that I hold no grudges against him or anyone else involved. I neither harboured resentment nor sought revenge after God spared me from that attack.
“It is God alone who has the power to forgive all our shortcomings. As His servants, I pray that He forgives both his and mine.”
