Former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, and former President Olusegun Obasanjo have reconciled, ahead of Fayose’s 65th birthday in Lagos next week.
Fayose was reportedly spotted at the Obasanjo Presidential Library in Abeokuta, on Sunday, where he held a private meeting with the former leader.
For years, the two politicians were known for open disagreements, with Obasanjo once describing Fayose as “unruly”, while Fayose accused the former president of political arrogance and intolerance.
Analysts estimate that their feud has lasted approximately 10 years.
A photograph shared by Fayose’s former aide, Lere Olayinka, showed Obasanjo dressed in traditional white attire with a green cap, playing Ayo, a Yoruba board game, while Fayose watched with admiration.
