Former President Goodluck Jonathan has accepted Shehu Shagari son’s apology for supporting Buhari in 2015 election.
Aminu Shagari, a three-term House of Representatives member had recalled how he helped to ensure that President Muhammadu Buhari emerged victorious in the 2015 Presidential election even though he participated in a coup that took down his father’s (Shagari) government in 1983.
Reacting to Aminu Shagari’s apology via a Facebook post, Goodluck Jonathan averred that he has no enemies to fight. He also urged Aminu to emulate his father who he described as one of the “most detribalized Nigerians”.
Jonathan wrote “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”
