Former Minister of Interior Rauf Aregbesola, on Sunday met Sikiru Olaboye who allegedly attempted to assassinate him nearly two decades ago.
In a post on X on Sunday, Aregbesola said he has forgiven Olaboye and holds no grudges against those behind the 2006 Oroki Day attack.
The former Osun governor disclosed that he was informed Olaboye called into a local radio station in Osogbo, the state capital, to seek his forgiveness.
He wrote, “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.”
