Ekiti politician and philanthropist Opeyemi Falegan has announced that he and his former partner, Nollywood actress Nkechi Blessing, have officially resolved their long-standing differences and restored peaceful relations.
Falegan made the disclosure in a statement shared on his official Instagram page on Monday, expressing appreciation to followers, friends, and well-wishers who offered counsel, prayers, and support throughout their public disagreement.
“We are happy to let you know that we have resolved our differences and are in a very good place now,” Falegan wrote. He noted that even challenging personal disputes can be overcome when both parties engage in honest conversations and show a willingness to let go of past grievances.
Public Apology Clears the Path to Peace
The formal statement followed a TikTok Live session on Saturday, during which Falegan publicly apologized to Nkechi. The reconciliation comes years after their highly publicized relationship ended in a messy fallout in 2022.
During their joint social media conversation, the actress pointed out that a clear apology was necessary to clear her name. She noted that comments Falegan had made during an earlier social media broadcast were still being weaponized against her by online trolls, demonstrating how past online statements can linger indefinitely.
Nkechi also revealed that despite their past friction, she had previously stepped in to defend Falegan in comment sections when internet users wrongly accused him of financial dishonesty, clarifying that he was not the individual involved in the alleged scam.
Moving Forward Without Bitterness
In his message, Falegan called on fans, commentators, and social media users who had taken sides during their feud to allow the matter to rest. He asked the public to refrain from further arguments, accusations, or negative commentary.
“Nobody is perfect, and we believe there is strength in forgiveness, maturity in understanding, and beauty in choosing peace,” Falegan added. He affirmed that neither party holds any remaining bitterness and expressed hope that well-wishers will celebrate their decision to move forward with mutual respect.
