In a recent interview with TUNDE AJAJA, One of the ex-wife of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Mr. Taiwo, open up on her son, troubled marriage. Read excerpts from the interview below..

Your son issued a statement on Thursday, saying he wasn’t missing. That is in sharp contrast with what you are saying. Why do you insist that he’s missing?
Up till now, he’s still in hiding. The statement that was released was not by my son. The father could have written it in his name. He’s still running away from the wife and his father. They should let him come out to say what he’s going through but Chief Olusegun Obasanjo doesn’t want the whole world to know the marriage is not working because of his big name and status. As I speak to you, he’s still in hiding. The marriage is no more there. There is no truth in that statement, and my son can never tell me I’m an attention-seeking woman. He couldn’t have said that. Ask those who wrote the story whether they saw him in person or whether he handed the statement to them directly. If the marriage is intact, why has my son not been seen since November 1, 2017, and no one cares about his safety or his life. If he comes out, people will hear the absolute truth from him.
Are you very confident he ran for his life or there could be other reasons?
Of course, he’s running for his life. Let them find him and allow him to talk, because they have turned him to a fugitive. My son should not become a fugitive on account of marriage. He should not be made to be running up and down like a common criminal. Chief Olusegun Obasanjo is the one the world should help me to appeal to. He’s the one that can bring solution to this situation. Now, we don’t know where he is, he’s homeless, he has no job where he is, yet he’s being threatened from left, right and centre. A father that is supposed to give support and protect him is saying he must stay in the same marriage. This is an age where women kill their husbands anyhow. I love him; he’s my son. He’s a gentleman anybody would love to have around. I don’t think it is a crime having a big man as a father. I think he’s afraid of the father, but marriage should not become a do or die. It is God and Chief Obasanjo that can help us to resolve it.
