Former President Olusegun Obasanjo
was depressed ,Thursday, immediately
he received the rumoured news that his
son, Gbenga, was among the victims
who died when the Akure-bound
Chattered Associated Airline crashed in
Lagos.
Obasanjo, clad in a white flowing agbada
with blue cap, was a guest at a
leadership training programme held at
Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library
(OOPL), Abeokuta, when he received a
call during a photo session with
attendees of the programme.
Vanguard correspondent, who was at
the event observed that the former
president received many calls during
the session while the expression on his
face showed that something was wrong.
Obasanjo was seen shivering and
shaking shortly after he received the
rumoured news, but comported himself
and gently left the venue.
During the conversation with one of his
callers, Obasanjo loudly said; “which
Gbenga? But, he is in Abuja”
Holding the hands of his friend, Prof.
Akin Mabogunje, they went straight into
a room within the Library complex
where they spent almost one hour.
Vanguard learnt that Obasanjo was
relieved after speaking with Gbenga.
