The unpredictability of the former Nigerian leader, Olusegun
Obasanjo was further showcased as he made a surprise
appearance at the wedding of a niece of President Goodluck
Jonathan, not only did he attend, he was also pictured
surprisingly bowing as he greeted President Jonathan, as
Mr president remained standing straight.
It can be recalled that Obasanjo recently claimed that
Jonathan’s government had wasted $45 billion foreign
exchange reserve left by his administration. He said he bore
no personal grudge against Jonathan and that he was only
concerned with good governance.
And President Goodluck Jonathan had responded in like
measure, with aides disputing Obasanjo’s figure and
Jonathan describing some elder statesmen as ‘motor park
touts’.
The marriage in Abuja today was between Inebharapu Paul,
Jonathan’s niece and Simeon Onyemaechi. The wedding
held at the Abuja National Christian Centre.
It was learnt that Obasanjo’s appearance caused quite a
stir at the ceremony.
He arrived the venue in company of Dr. Andy Uba and some
other aides before the commencement of the service.
His arrival attracted a loud ovation from those who were
already seated, especially women.
He was ushered into the hall amidst standing ovation by his
admirers and took his seat at the VIP section.
He was later joined at the section by the President of the
Senate, David Mark and his wife.
About 20 minutes after, Jonathan entered the hall with his
wife, Patience, and the bride.
The President and his wife took turn to exchange
pleasantries with Obasanjo, Mark and other dignitaries
before taking their seats.
Obasanjo’s introduction during the service also attracted a
loud applause from the congregation.
In his vote of thanks at the service Jonathan specially
recognised Obasanjo’s presence, saying, “Let me
appreciate our father, President Olusegun Obasanjo, for
being here with us. Thank you for coming.”
