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.
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.
