Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has cleared the air on his meeting with the Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, Otunba Gani Adams.

They met at the residence of the Afenifere chief, Chief Ayo Adebanjo.

While some have said the meeting was for reconciliation, Obasanjo said it wan not.

He noted in a statement on Wednesday:

“My attention has been­ drawn to some public­ations reporting an a­cclaimed reconciliati­on between Gani Adams­ and myself at the re­sidence of Chief Ayo ­Adebanjo in Lagos tod­ay.

“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.”
