Former Nigerian leader, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo has faulted media reports, claiming he had reconciled with Aare Ona Kakanfo, Gani Adams as he said there was no quarrel between him and Adams.

Reports had said Obasanjo and Adams were at the residence of Chief Ayo Adebanjo in Lagos Wednesday for a reconciliation meeting after 15-year feud.

Obasanjo, in a statement issued by Kehinde Akinyemi, his Special Assistant on Media, dismissed such reports, noting he met Adams at Adebanjo’s residence during a private visit.

“It is true that I paid a personal visit to Chief Ayo Adebanjo at his residence in Lekki Phase 1 on December 2, 2020 and I met Gani Adams there.

“I have no quarrel with Gani Adams, but for his past way of life which was not in accord with my standards and principles.

“I have in the past, both in government and out of government, refused to grant Gani’s request to visit me,” he said.

According to Obasanjo, “If at all anybody feels I have a quarrel with him or her that needs reconciliation, such reconciliation will, no doubt, take place in my residence in Abeokuta only.”
