A delegation of members of the National Working Committee of the Peples Democratic Party who went to the Abeokuta residence of former president Olusegun Obasanjo got a shocker of their lives as they were stopped from entering the house of the former president.
The delegation led by the National Auditor of the party, Mr. Adewole Adeyanju had gone to felicitate with the ex-president on the celebration of his 77th birthday when they met a message prevented them from entering the house.
Others in the delegation include the state executives of the party including the Chairman, Mr. Bayo Dayo, Pegba Otewolu, Waliu Oladipupo, Alhaja Nike Oguntola, Mrs. Bose Ogunleye, Wuraola Arojo and Zak Oyekunle.
According to Thisday:
The delegation, who were meant to honour the former president on his birthday anniversary on Wednesday, were prevented from entering Obasanjo’s house by the security men.
One the security men, who came to brief the delegation, said: “Baba has no appointment with your delegation and Baba said you should drop any gifts you have for him at the security post.”
However, the leader of the delegation who was looking disappointed and angry with the reception he received at the residence of the former president, spoke with THISDAY saying: “All I know is that when they (security men) went in, they came out to say baba said he was not in.”
He said: “You know baba is an old man and he is our baba and you know how elders behave, so I don’t want to believe that maybe he was not dispose but I think I have come to deliver the message of the National Chairman and he has collected those materials for his birthday.”
He said state matters prevented them from attending the birthday programme on Wednesday, saying “we were to come here by plane but because of state assignment, we couldn’t come and that is why I was asked to lead a delegation.”
While eulogising the former president at 77, he said baba still had things to do for this country, saying he (baba) should give thanks more for the grace God has given him.
He added: “I thank God for him, he his enjoying good health so I wish he still has more services for Nigeria and for PDP.”
