Onikijipa made the revelation while speaking at the eight-day fridau prayer of Sheik Abdulwahab Banni Afonta, an Osogbo-based Islamic cleric, which was held at the Nelson Mandela Freedom Park in Osogbo, the Osun state capital.
Sheikh Afonfa was said to have settled in Osogbo from Ilorin, where he reportedly spent his lifetime and built an Arabic school and mosque. He died on Saturday, December 16 and was buried on Sunday, December 17.
Why Tinubu, Aregbesola will come together again, Onikijipa
Onokijipa said Aregbesola represented Islam in politics and that the immediate past interior minister never denied President Tinubu as his boss and father.
The cleric said:
“One certain thing is that you can turn lies to truth; no one can turn truth to lie. It might take time, but the truth will surely prevail. I pray Almighty Allah will mend the relationship and place you above the wicked beings.”
Recall that Aregbesola fell out with Tinubu, where he allegedly worked against the return of former Governor Gboyega Oyetola.

The executive order would be the 7th of its kind that Governor Adeleke would issue since he was sworn in as governor in November, 2022.
Recall that Aregbesola once alleged that his predecessor, Gboyega Oyetola, put machinery in place to ensure that he stayed away from Osun.
