Former Governor Segun Osoba of Ogun State who is also a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has confirmed that he met Iyabo Obasanjo, the daughter of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, during his trip to the United States in September 2013. Recounting his chance meeting with Ms. Obasanjo to SaharaReporters, Chief Osoba said he was in the United States for the 73rd anniversary of the Nieman Foundation Fellowship when he ran into Iyabo, a former senator in Nigeria. The former governor told SaharaReporters he was staying at The Charles Hotel in Cambridge when he had a chance encounter with the daughter of the former president who told him her car was parked in the hotel’s basement parking lot.

Chief Osoba said that, after the meeting, Ms. Obasanjo went downstairs to get her car and then drove him to the offices of the Nieman Foundation Center where he had an event. He said commute took close to an hour, leaving plenty of time for a long conversation between him and former President Obasanjo’s daughter.

Speaking further, Chief Osoba disclosed that Iyabo expressed exactly the same sentiments about her father contained in her letter that was just published by SaharaReporters. According to the former governor, Ms. Obasanjo stated that her father would divide the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) more than it was then after his so-called intervention in the party. He said Ms. Obasanjo also stated that she had no plans to return anymore to Nigerian politics, a sentiment she expressed in the acerbic letter to her father.

Chief Osoba added that, after his return from the US, he met former President Obasanjo a month later at the 80th birthday party of Chief Adedoja Adewolu and told him of his encounter with Iyabo in Massachusetts, including her view of his intervention in the PDP. Former Governor Osoba said he strongly believed that his discussion with Mr. Obasanjo might have prompted the former President to tell his daughter to run on the platform of the APC, another revelation made in her letter.

Former Senator Iyabo Obasanjo wrote an 11-page letter to her father which she sent to Lagos-based Vanguard newspaper. In the letter, she described her father as a liar, manipulator and a hypocrite. She also characterized her father as a wife-beater and abominable father.

This Iyabo-Obj letter is becoming more interesting.



However, I'm not surprised that Osoba supported that Iyabo could have written the so called letter, because he is of opposition party, and if i can remember very well, they (Obj and Osoba)are sworn enemies, therefore, he(Osoba) would rather support Iyabo as she seems to be more of opposition side against her father.

Nigeria politics, very dirty indeed.


Anyway, let the drama continues.

Lol...*grabs my popcorn*

This is getting interesting.
If she denies writing it,let her go to court straight but I doubt Vanguard will act without verified source. If Iyabo wins...goodbye to Vanguard but if Vanguard wins .....

I have never ejoyed my off days like this one. Letters upon letters to keep one busy. Woke up with Iyabo's letter , took a nap only to wake up with a denial letter by a supposed impostor acording to Vanguard. And now dis one from Osoba.

This film sweet die. OBJ shud nt send assasins to eliminate dat woman ooo. Dat man is a mad devil. If u can sleep with ur sons's wife I wonder what else he can't do.

Am just passing

2015 game plan... More drama to unfold. May GOD lead our leaders right..

IYABO should be bold enough to stand by her LETTER to her father. Succumbing to family pressure to deny writing a letter filled with secrets only her knows. May be, it's a secret letter that leaked. A season leaked private letters.

In other word the said letter is confirmed real. Meaning that truly Obj is not only a hypocrite,a liar,evil but also a failed father.
smh for Obj.
Thank God I never voted for him.

This is very simple.

For real if Iyabo didn't write this letter she should do more than denying and tweeting about it but take a legal action against Vanguard and if not she should just come out bold and finish this once and for all.

Or if she truly didn't write this letter, then who did? May be the chief that confirmed her words.... I no mention name oo.

In time. Remember that this letter was released yesterday. If she did not write it, she will spend today conversing with her father's media aides as they craft a response. Before the week is over, we will know the truth.

You didn't vote for him, because you were still an underage as at the time of his election.

If SaharaReporters says she did write the letter, annd she says she didn't, then I think we have a right to believe one of these reports.

I love this 'Season Film' Obasanjo is done with and dusted, if I hear those irritating Agberos chantings of 'Baba o' from those clowns venerating him here again......I will make sure they regret ever saying so! Obasanjo is not to be celebrated in the politicosphere of this great country. He had all the opportunities in the world to write his name in gold but he blew it! Imagine while still alive, his son, Gbenga, blasted him that he slept with his wife and now his daughter, Iyabo, exposed him!

OBJ has become the tortoise in the Nigerian political stories who is mentioned and features prominently in everyone of them.
OBJ the reoccurring decimal......Chief manipulator
