Obasanjo Family Shares Light Moments at Ogun Symposium

At the Ajibosin Platform symposium held at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library in Abeokuta, Ogun State, a light-hearted exchange occurred between former President Olusegun Obasanjo and his daughter, Iyabo Obasanjo. Iyabo, a former commissioner for health and candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party for the Ogun Central Senatorial District election, humorously acknowledged her father, stating, “who I don’t know,” which elicited laughter from the audience.

In response, Obasanjo took the microphone to jokingly criticize Iyabo, claiming she did not know her father, which he termed as an "abuse of AI." He also expressed concerns about the Nigerian economy and the influence of foreign-trained experts. Their relationship, previously strained due to a letter from Iyabo to her father, has since evolved into a close bond, as she described their connection as more than just a father-daughter relationship, emphasizing friendship.
