You are bloody idiots – Obasanjo blasts Vanguard Newspaper

Apparently angered by the content of a purported letter written to him by his daughter, Iyabo, former President Olusegun Obasanjo, yesterday rained thunder and brimstone on Vanguard Newspaper over the missive.

The media was awash yesterday, with a purported letter written by Iyabo Obasanjo to her father, accusing him of being responsible for the nation’s many troubles.

Iyabo in the letter obtained by Vanguard, also accused the Otta farmer of abandoning his family.

“You think our existence on earth is about you. By the way, how many are we? 19, 20, 21? Do you even know? In the last five years, how many of these children have you spoken to? How many grandchildren do you have and when did you last see each of them? As President you would listen to advice of people that never finished high school who would say anything to keep having access to you so as to make money over your children who loved you and genuinely wished you well,” Iyabo allegedly wrote her father in the said letter.

However, when Vanguard contacted Obsasanjo to hear his own side of the story, a visibly enraged politician-turned-pastor, insulted them for calling him after publishing the story.

The exchange between Vanguard and the former president ran thus:

Vanguard: Sir, we tried reaching you all through yesterday, to no avail, over the letter written by your daughter, Iyabo, to you.

Chief Obasanjo: You are a bloody idiot, you have published the paper and you are now looking for me, you are an idiot, don’t call me again. When Iyabo finishes you in court…. (hangs up).
