Former
President Olusegun Obasanjo was depressed ,Thursday, immediately he
received the rumoured news that his son, Gbenga, was among the victims
who died when the Akure-bound Chattered Associated Airline crashed in
Lagos.
Obasanjo,
clad in a white flowing agbada with blue cap, was a guest at a
leadership training programme held at Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential
Library (OOPL), Abeokuta, when he received a call during a photo session
with attendees of the programme.
Journalists
at the event observed that the former president received many calls
during the session while the expression on his face showed that
something was wrong.
Obasanjo
was seen shivering and shaking shortly after he received the rumoured
news, but comported himself and gently left the venue.
During the conversation with one of his callers, Obasanjo loudly said; “which Gbenga? But, he is in Abuja”
Holding
the hands of his friend, Prof. Akin Mabogunje, they went straight
into a room within the Library complex where they spent almost one hour.
It was gathered that Obasanjo was relieved after speaking with Gbenga.
