Doyin Okupe, former Senior Special Assistant to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan on Media and Publicity has disclosed how he earned former President Olusegun Obasanjo's forgiveness.      

Okupe had openly condemned Obasanjo in the process of defending Jonathan.

In a Facebook post that detailed the forgiveness process Okupe wrote, “Last sunday, in the company of some friends I met with Baba Obasanjo principally to try and settle and resolve the misunderstanding that has existed between baba and I since I joined the Jonathan administration.

“Vintage baba, he descended on me heavily and vented his anger copiously. I prostrated and held his feet as a well trained Yoruba man and pleaded earnestly for his forgiveness, occasionally given short explanations for areas I considered my actions were misunderstood.

''Also typical of baba, ever willing to forgive a repentant son, we embraced; I even kissed him as a loving son. Politics sometimes is such a bad business, you hurt your friends and even benefactors, but all is well that ends well.”
