Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has said he had no quarrel with the Aare Onakakanfo of Yorubaland, Gani Adams.
Obasanjo said his meeting with Adams at the residence of a Chieftain of Afenifere ,Chief Ayo
Adebanjo in Lekki Phase was not on reconciliatory mission.
Obasanjo in a statement by his Special Assistant on Media,
Kehinde Akinyemi on Wednesday said he paid a visit to Adebanjo, but met Adams
there .
The former president had refused to grant Adams’ request to
visit him when he was president and after he left the office .
Obasanjo said he had his reservation about Adams’ past way
of life which he said was not in accord with his standard and
principles.
The statement was titled, ‘No fight to warrant
reconciliation with Adams – Obasanjo.’
The statement reads partly, ‘It is true that I paid a
personal visit to Chief Ayo Adebanjo at his residence in Lekki Phase 1 on
December 2, 2020, and I met Gani Adams there.
“I have no quarrel with Gani Adams, but for his past way
of life which was not in accord with my standard and principles. I have in the past, both in government and
out of government, refused to grant Gani’s request to visit me.
“If at all anybody feels I have a quarrel with him or her
that needs reconciliation, such reconciliation will, no doubt, take place
in my residence in Abeokuta only.”
