LAGOS —
With
echoes of
the open
letter to
former
president,
Chief
Olusegun
Obasanjo from his daughter, Iyabo, reverberating
nationwide, the daughter yesterday gave reasons
she gave up on her father ever changing.
Senator Iyabo Obasanjo spoke against the
background of mixed reactions from Yoruba elders
and politicians on the import of the letter which she
said was the last communication with her father.
The former president himself was furious when
approached by Vanguard, yesterday, as he hurled
invectives at the newspaper. 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.
