Former President,
Olusegun Obasanjo, on Saturday visited the Ikoyi, Lagos home of the former
national deputy chairman, Southwest of the Peoples Democratic Party, Bode
George, to commiserate with him over the death of his son.
The younger
George reportedly died on the 9th May,
2018.
The visit
was however described as an end to the political rift between the duo by
George’s family.
In a
statement signed on his behalf by his media aide, Kehinde Akinyemi, Obasanjo
led some top aides and loyalists to the residence of the former military
administrator of Ondo State, where he urged him to take solace in God over the
demise of the son.
He said, “We
cannot query God, but to only take solace in what He has done to you.
“If this did
not happen, who knows what next that will happen. I have not been around but it
was on my mind to come over and commiserate with you and the family. May God
grant the deceased eternal rest.”
However, the
visit turned emotional when Bode George’s sister, Alhaja Majolagbe in her vote
of thanks declared that the rift between the two was over with the visit.
She
said, “We are all shocked when this
started. But, today, devil has been put to shame. The evil this morning has
been condemned outside this house. It will never come to these two great
Nigerians anymore.
“There has
come time again when my brother will find Ota his home. It is over, Allah take
all thanks.”
