Obasanjo and Daughter Share Humor at Ogun Symposium

On October 30, during the Ajibosin Platform symposium at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library in Abeokuta, Ogun State, a lighthearted exchange occurred between former President Olusegun Obasanjo and his daughter, Senator Iyabo Obasanjo. The event focused on the theme "Leveraging Artificial Intelligence to Solve Grassroots Problems and Accelerate National Development." Iyabo, a former commissioner for health and the PDP candidate for the Ogun Central Senatorial District, humorously acknowledged her father, stating, "who I don't know," which elicited laughter from the audience.

In response, Obasanjo used his speaking time to joke about the comment, saying, "Iyabo doesn't know her father. That's abuse of AI already," further amusing the crowd.

Beyond the humor, Obasanjo raised serious concerns regarding the adoption of economic policies from foreign-trained technocrats, emphasizing the need for critical evaluation. The event was part of the Odun Omo Olowu festival, showcasing the blend of serious discourse and familial banter.
