‘You’ll Be My Father Now’ – Gov Abiodun Tells Obasanjo After Losing Dad

Following the death of the biological father of Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, has decided to make former President Olusegun Obasanjo his father.

Obasanjo visited Abiodun to pay his condolence to the family with the loss of his father in his Iperu country home. Obasanjo spoke at the occasion and tasked the living to take a lesson from the death of the 89-year-old man. He added that everyone would answer the call of death one day, so we should be careful of how we live our life.

Abiodun said: “Baba, you are going nowhere. By the grace of God, you will live longer. We can not afford your going now. You have been my ‘father’ over the years, but now that my biological father has gone to meet with the Saints, you have to step up now to be my father,”
