during a 90th birthday interview with Daily Independent.
“There was this police officer who was a DPO (Divisional Police Officer) at Lafenwa that had an affair with Obasanjo’s mother. But at that time, the Igbos didn’t intermarry with Yoruba. He was posted out. After she had the child, his adopted father now adopted him (Obasanjo). Obasanjo’s biological father was an Igbo man from Onitsha and a royal family for that matter,” Chief Majekodunmi alleged.
“If you see the picture of Obasanjo and the ex-DPO of Lafenwa, you will see that they look alike. When they ask him, he doesn’t talk about it. You see some Igbo people like a former governor had once referred to Obasanjo as his cousin because he’s from there. Obasanjo left Yoruba people to Igbo land to go and campaign for Peter Obi at Onitsha,” he claimed.
“If you look at Obasanjo’s past, you will see that he has been very fair, more than fair, to the Igbos. He went to campaign for the Igbo party presidential candidates at Onitsha. He has so many things that we know that he doesn’t like to be reminded of. When he was joining the army, it was the DPO that gave him the backing and a good recommendation. That’s how he left when he passed his GCE in Form 5 and he got into the army,” Chief Majekodunmi stated.
