Ekiti politician and philanthropist, Opeyemi Falegan, has openly apologised to Nollywood actress Nkechi Blessing Sunday, years after their widely publicised romance ended on a bitter note.

Falegan offered the apology during a TikTok Live session with the actress on Saturday, where they both revisited the events that led to their 2022 breakup and cleared up unresolved issues.

During the discussion, Nkechi maintained that an apology was needed before they could move on, recalling how some comments Falegan made about her during a previous social media Live session worsened their fallout.

The actress noted that some of those old remarks 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.

She also recalled standing up for Falegan against online attacks despite their differences, saying she had stepped in on comment sections of videos where people accused him of wrongdoing.

According to her, she had told critics that the man they were accusing was not the person who allegedly scammed them.

Nkechi stressed that their past disagreement should not turn them into enemies, but maintained that reconciliation could only happen with an apology.

“There’s no letting go without an apology,” she said.

In response, Falegan said he had changed over the years and urged both of them to let go of their differences. He also noted that they each had their own account of what happened and suggested that the issue should be laid to rest.

“A gentleman wouldn’t extend the words of the lady. And another thing you need to understand is this: who I was yesterday is not who I am today,” he said.

He finally said sorry to the actress, explaining that he didn’t want her to keep holding a grudge against him.

“From the bottom of my heart to the depth of my soul, do not be angry, Nkechi. That is gone. See that you have grown and more mature,” he said.
