Ekiti politician and philanthropist, Opeyemi Falegan, says he and Nollywood actress, Nkechi Blessing, have resolved their differences and are now on good terms.

Falegan disclosed this in a statement shared on his Instagram page on Monday, thanking people who had followed their disagreements, offered advice, said prayers and supported them.

“We are happy to let you know that we have resolved our differences and are in a very good place now,” he wrote.

He said misunderstandings and difficult moments could be overcome through honest conversations, understanding and a willingness to let go.

“Sometimes, life brings misunderstandings and difficult moments, but with time, honest conversations, understanding and a willingness to let go, peace is always possible,” he said.

Falegan added that he had chosen to put the past behind him and move forward with mutual understanding, kindness and respect.

He also appealed to people who had taken sides during their disagreement to allow the matter to rest, saying there was no need for further arguments, blame or negativity.

“We also want to sincerely appeal to everyone who may have taken sides, defended either of us, or expressed strong opinions during that period. We appreciate the concern and love, but we kindly ask that you allow the matter to rest.

“Nobody is perfect, and we believe there is strength in forgiveness, maturity in understanding and beauty in choosing peace,” he added.

He said they held no bitterness and hoped those who genuinely wished them well would be happy that they had found their way to a better place.

The statement comes a day after Falegan publicly apologised to Nkechi during a TikTok Live session on Saturday, years after their highly publicised relationship ended in a bitter fallout in 2022.

During the conversation, the actress said an apology was necessary before they could move forward, recalling that comments Falegan made about her during an earlier social media Live session had contributed to their disagreement.

She said some of his remarks from years earlier were still being used against her online.

“I told you something in February that if you must, you see what’s because of what you did five years ago, some irrelevant nitwits, they used to use it to insult me yesterday. That is to tell you the internet never forgets,” she said.

Nkechi also recalled defending Falegan against online criticism despite their differences, saying she had intervened in comment sections of videos in which he was being accused of wrongdoing.

She explained that she had told people that the person they were accusing was not the individual who allegedly scammed them.
