*Obasanjo to VANGUARD: “You’re
Bloody Idiots”
*Iyabo Confirms Letter; flays denials on social media
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 idiots, you have published the paper and you are now looking for me, you are an idiots, 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.

Following the hoopla over her letter, Iyabo spoke severally to Vanguard, yesterday. Asked to respond to claims that she had denied the authorship of the letter written to her father, Iyabo, who holds a doctorate in epidemology and now resident in the United States, said: “No, no, no, that is not true. How can you live by social media? That is part of the problem with Nigeria, people want to be flying rumours. I have not told anybody o! It is early morning here and I just woke up and if I were you I would just ignore them,” Senator Obasanjo said. “People are calling me and telling me that they called Baba but if I say I am not talking to someone (her father), how can you say you called the person and the person will tell you what is on my mind?” she asked
Giving reasons on why she broke off,
she said that after a break from
relating with Obasanjo, she found out
days ago that her father would not
change from the manipulative person
she had known all along.
“The whole of last year I didn’t speak
to him and I just started speaking to
him recently, and the last time he
was trying to manipulate me to say,
this, say that. I can’t be saying no
when you say no.
“The last time I spoke to him was
three days ago and I decided that I
was not going to speak to him again
after that. That was the
communication through which I
realized that this man would never
change from manipulations for
himself.”
Dismissing her unsolicited
canvassers on social media, she
said:
“I was surprised that they would say
that they called Baba, and I said to
myself, are these people mad? How
can you call the person that I said I
am not talking to, to ask him whether
I wrote a letter or not and he is going
to speak for me?
“Nobody can say that I told him that I
didn’t write it. I am not a liar. I will
not back away from what I wrote and
there is nothing that is there that is a
lie. In the last four years how many of
them have spoken to me? They are
all mad people,” she said.

How I wish that I can appear and disappear.
All these politicians will just die a mystrious death.

ON POINT! I admire the courage and bravery of Vanguard Newspaper on this issue. They are not yielding to threats and intimidation. They have published their story and still standing solidly behind their report, by providing more evidence and backup. Kudos to Vanguard. We Call it 'Investigative Journalism'.

A lot of people are calling this fake letter a low point for GEJ and his propaganda boys but I believe its a huge SUCCESS.

Just one useless letter has changed the entire discourse of the days preceding it. No one is talking about missing $50 billion or assasins-in-training anymore.

The diversionary tactic has worked !

They say we can't rule.
They said we were the ones that crippled d nation under our donkey years of military dictatorship.
Now that they occupy the seat of power, what r we seeing•. "Comedy upon comedy"
Jonadunce till 2019

I know the Obasanjo family very well..and a personal friend to Iyabo...I a number of personal things she allegedly said are true (not all). However, I don't think she wrote them, someone that knows some of these details may have fabricated it. Iyabo is a well trained Yoruba woman and the last thing she will do is to ridicule her father in public.
