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.

Yes, Oshoba is the type of people we need for truthful reconfirmations. Nigerians here we are.

This is MISLEADING, MODERATORS, change the heading to match the actual title not this garbage! It is also interesting that all of a sudden, SR has become the believable and choice of source for news but when they publish any other thing about the PDP and this retardumbo GEJ of a president, they are lying? Such double standards by clueless Nigerians!
