The former president Chief Olusegun Obasanjo himself was furious when approached by
Vanguard, yesterday, as he hurled invectives at the newspaper over the
exclusive letter from Iyabo Obasanjo Ojo that was published by the newspaper
outfit.
The exchange between Vanguard and the former president ran
thus:
Vanguard: Sir, we tried reaching you all through yesterday,
to no avail, over the letter written by your daughter, Iyabo, to you.
Chief Obasanjo: You are a bloody idiot, you have published
the paper and you are now looking for me, you are an idiot, don’t call me
again. When Iyabo finishes you in court…. (hangs up).
Senator Obasanjo nevertheless flayed the orchestrated
attempt in the social media by a network of associates of her father to
separate her from the letter.
Aremo Olusegun Osoba, former governor of Ogun State, who was
cited in the letter, confirmed the meeting between him and Iyabo in
Massachusetts, United States but distanced himself from the plot allegedly
cited by her father to empower her with the ticket of the All Progressives
Congress, APC for the next round of elections.
Besides, Aremo Osoba, several prominent Yoruba elders spoke
on the development among whom were Afenifere leader, Chief Rueben Fasoranti,
Afenifere bigwig, Chief Ayo Adebanjo, Dr. Frederick Fasehun, Chief Ebenezer
Babatope and Hon. Femi Kehinde, a former member of the House of
Representatives.
Senator Iyabo Obasanjo had written an open letter to her
father accusing him of being a liar, manipulator, wife-basher and hypocrite who
was desperate for a third term despite his denials to the contrary.
More details later…
