Former President Olusegun Obasanjo over the weekend caused a mild drama when he sighted PREMIUM TIMES’ correspondent at the Government House in Ogun State.

The reporter tried to take a picture of the former president standing beside former Nigerian leader, Ernest Shonekan, with his camera phone, but got a dramatic response from Mr. Obasanjo.

“You again,” the former president said. “That was how your blackberry phone was smashed.”

One of Mr. Obasanjo’s children, Oba, had smashed the blackberry phone of the PREMIUM TIMES journalist for taking the picture of the fire at the former president’s house last week in Abeokuta, the Ogun State Capital.

Obasanjo to buy second hand phone

The journalist complained to Mr. Obasanjo about the destroyed phone and asked the former president what he intends to do about it.

The former number one citizen again responded in his characteristic dramatic and jocular manner.

“I will buy you another one, but if you don’t mind, it has to be a fairly used one and with cheaper price,” Mr. Obasanjo said.

At the end of the day’s programme, our correspondent again approached the former president, requesting to follow him to his house to collect the promised blackberry phone; but Mr. Obasanjo turned it to another round of comedy.

“You this Ijesa man, I suspect you are the one who set my house on fire, and you want to come there again, I will buy your phone for you when I return from abroad.”

After making the statement, the former president entered his vehicle, smiled and waved to the reporter.

Hmmm, but why would the daughter smash the reporters phone? He is a journalist for goodness sake! That's improper and that was all the former president had to do? Smh! If it was GEJ we would've started calling names, but I think this is a more serious case than the joke the former president has made it to look like. Smh.

Making people laugh is OBJ second nature

Obasanjo is the only person that have lead Nigeria and have the talent and power to transform Nigeria but I'm yet to know why he did not do dat. Thank God atleast uninterupted power supply would commence in all parts of Nigeria this year 2013.

He makes serious issues look unserious. Obj is untouchable in Nigeria truth be told.

OBJ is very charismatic and funny too, interesting man,like am now oh

eriam: He makes serious issues look unserious. Obj is untouchable in Nigeria truth be told.

Exactly... Instead of Premium times to focus on the abuse of power of Obassanjo's daughter, they're talking about OBJ's joke.....

OBJ truly is related to Akpo as noted by JIDEtheBALLOON

Many of us indeed like him. But he's just an option to fulfill any righteousness of choosing any from the long list non-performing leaders we've had so far

Obj should replace the guy's phone joor... Who get him number make i call am see if e go buy my fairly used Samsung R220 blue light for the journalist...

Btw I made 1st page!!!
*Dancing alingo on Muki's head*

OBJ always used jokes to turn down serious matters when confronted.

This is funny but I feel for the journalist. For God's sake the dude is a journalist and baba is a public figure. Why would she smash his phone... God dey o.
