I Have No Reason To Reconcile With Obasanjo – Aare Gani Adams

The Aare Onakakanfo of Yorubaland, Aare Gani Adams has come out to say that he has no reason to reconcile with ex President, Olusegun Obasanjo.

He recently revealed this at a press conference at his Omole residence in Lagos, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, his guarding angel will not forgive him if that happens, so he is not even contemplating it.

He added that the only way to tackle Nigeria’s current insecurity is for us to restructure the country.

His words, “Only way to address the state of insecurity is for us to restructure the country. When we restructure our security, we can have four levels of police. We can have the federal, regional, state and local government police.”

Chief Olusegun Matthew Okikiola Aremu Obasanjo, GCFR, born 5 March 1937 is a Nigerian military and political leader who served as military head of state from 1976 to 1979 and later as President of Nigeria from 1999 to 2007. Ideologically a Nigerian nationalist, he was a member of the People’s Democratic Party.

Matthew Olusegun Aremu Obasanjo was born in the village of Ibogun-Olaogun in southwest Nigeria. His later passport gave his date of birth as 5 March 1937, although this was an estimate, and there are no records of Obasanjo’s birthdate from the time itself.

His father was Amos Adigun Obaluayesanjo “Obasanjo” Bankole and his mother was Bernice Ashabi Bankole. He was the first of nine children; only he and a sister (Adunni Oluwole Obasanjo) survived childhood. He was born to the Owu branch of the Yoruba people. The church in the village was part of a mission set up by the U.S. Southern Baptist Church and Obasanjo was raised Baptist.

His village also contained Muslims and his sister would later convert to Islam on marrying a Muslim man.
