Former President Goodluck Jonathan has responded to the public apology from the son of former President Shehu Shagari, Aminu.
According to Jonathan, he never took offence and was not the type to harbour grudges. He said on his Facebook Page.
He wrote, “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. GEJ.”
Recall that Aminu, who is a three-term House of Representatives member, apologized for supporting the then All Progressives Congress candidate, Muhammadu Buhari, who won the 2015 Presidential election
He said, “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.”
