Gbenga
Obasanjo, the second son of former President Olusegun Obasanjo is not in the
best of mood at the moment. And he has been seeking for that happiness which
took a flight, ever since he made a revelation, which startled the entire nation some years back.
Gbenga has become almost a recluse as most people now avoid him. It will be
recalled that, Gbenga, in 2008, had made a shocking revelation about his father
and former father-in-law, Otunba Alex Onabanjo. Prior to that, Gbenga was
engaged in a cold war with his father for a couple of years.
Thus, when he made the revelation, the relationship between him and his father was severed. And save for his mother, Remilekun and a handful of close friends, most people have decided to keep Gbenga at arms’ length. Moreover, Gbenga is also enmeshed in a silent war with his elder sister, Senator Iyabo Obasanjo-Bello. And so deep has this feud gotten that the two siblings hardly talk to each other. A source disclosed that the cause of the feud between the two siblings is rooted in the battle for supremacy within the family. To aggravate Gbenga’s situation, he was ejected from his duplex residence in Ladipo Bateye Close, GRA, Ikeja, where he used to live with his former wife. The building, which is owned by his father, has since been leased out. Presently, Gbenga lives in the United States. He was on a visit to Nigeria during the last Christmas festival. But he kept his visit very private and brief. According to those who should know, Gbenga has no tangible means of livelihood. His only source of comfort is the constant love and support he gets from his mother, and the occasional attention he gets from his father. Yet, that is not enough to stop Gbenga from searching for true happiness and friendship from people.
