Founder of the Initiative for Peace, Forgiveness and Love for One Another (IPFLOA), Ambassador Kingsley Atoe, has appealed to Nigerian music stars, Peter and Paul Okoye of the defunct P-Square duo, to forgive one another and reconcile their differences.
Atoe made the appeal in a message addressed to the two brothers, urging them to put aside their quarrels, disagreements, hurt and bitterness and restore their bond of brotherhood.
The appeal comes amid renewed attention to the prolonged disagreement between the Okoye twins. The brothers, who reunited in 2021 after their earlier split, fell out again in 2024 amid disagreements involving their music business and their elder brother, Jude Okoye.
According to Atoe, Peter and Paul should remember the years they spent growing up together, working together and building the musical brand that eventually became P-Square.
He said their success was the product of the strength, talent and determination of two brothers who shared a common dream.
“Peter, reach out to Paul. Paul, reach out to Peter,” Atoe appealed, stressing that their relationship as brothers should take precedence over their differences.
He urged the musicians to recognise the influence they have had on millions of young people who watched their journey from humble beginnings to international musical success.
Atoe said their reconciliation would send a powerful message to their fans and young people around the world that disagreements do not have to permanently destroy relationships.
“Show them that forgiveness is greater than bitterness. Show them that love is stronger than disagreement. Show them that brothers can disagree, forgive, reconcile and come back even stronger,” he said.
The IPFLOA founder also urged the brothers to regard forgiveness and reconciliation as a greater legacy than their music, awards and other accomplishments.
He said: “Let reconciliation become your new manager. Let forgiveness become your new song. Let peace become your greatest performance.”
Atoe’s intervention follows other recent appeals for the Okoye brothers to resolve their differences. Their elder brother, Henry Okoye, recently expressed doubts about the possibility of a reconciliation but nevertheless appealed to Paul to forgive Peter and urged the family to work towards restoring unity.
Atoe prayed that God would heal the wounds between the brothers, remove bitterness and restore their relationship.
He concluded by urging Peter and Paul to “come back together” and demonstrate that brotherly love, forgiveness and peace can overcome even deep disagreements.
