Gani Adams To OBJ: Door For Settlement Foreclosed

The Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, Iba Gani Adams Wednesday vowed not to enter Dr. Olusegun Obasanjo’s house saying that the door of reconciliation between both men has long been foreclosed.

Adams spoke at a press conference in reaction to Obasanjo’s assertion that Adams’ past way of life was contrary to his beliefs and he could only reconcile with Adams in his (Obasanjo’s) Abeokuta residence.

Obasanjo had said: “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.

“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.”

Reacting at a press conference in Lagos on Tuesday, Adams said:

 “I don’t know what Baba Obasanjo meant by my way of life. I agree with him that we don’t have the same character because he’s not a progressive. Obasanjo will not like the character of any progressive Nigerian.

“I have never at anytime requested to meet Obasanjo as he claimed. I initially didn’t want to attend the meeting when Chief Ayo Adebanjo told me. But I decided to honour the invitation because Chief Adebanjo is one the Yoruba elders I respect so much.

“He (Obasanjo) stated in his statement that whoever feels he needs a reconciliatory meeting with him should come to his residence in Abeokuta. I don’t have the need for any reconciliatory meeting with him. That one has been foreclosed. I cannot even go to his house.
