The
controversy over the date for the wedding of the daughter of Chief
Kessington Adebutu and the son of Olujonwo Obasanjo, a son of former
president, appears not to be over yet as the groom's mother, has poured
more fuel on the raging fire.
While speaking in an exclusive interview with The Sun newspaper,
Mrs Taiwo Obasanjo the wife of former President, Chief Olusegun
Obasanjo, poured more fuel on the raging fire on the marriage
controversy between the daughter of Chief Kessington Adebutu and the son
of Olujonwo Obasanjo, a son of former president.
Here are excerpts from the chat;
Why did you take your son to court in order to stop his wedding?
I am not a mad woman and the young man we are talking about is my
firstborn and my only son. I have two children, a male and a female. It
has been my desire for him to get married and I get to see his children.
My second child is married with children too, so it is my strongest
desire to see him marry and have children. I will tell you the history
of his birth.
This boy is not an accidental birth, he is not a child I woke one
day, and told my husband that I was pregnant. I went through some delay
and there were prophecies that he would come and we should name him
Abraham. I respect the prophecies of God too much and before the arrival
of this girl that he is supposed to marry, we were warned that whenever
the time came for him to marry, he should not marry with fanfare. We
were told he should not have any elaborate celebration until after his
34th birthday.
Strangely enough, no wedding came up until he is about to clock 34
on the first of June and we were warned that any elaborate thing should
be done after his 34th birthday. I am not saying that there should be no
wedding. Before this girl came into the scene there was a prophecy that
foretold that this girl would come to cause problem. We have been
warned that he should just marry quietly and go home. You see he didn’t
go and court this girl. My twin brother who has now turned to a Judas
and a Goliath controlling both families introduced this girl to him. He
is the one fueling the problems.
Initially, my son said he wasn’t interested in the girl because she
is so fat and that he wanted a slim person. After a year, I didn’t hear
anything again and I went to see this girl. To see how she looked and I
saw her and told him that she would slim down. But he insisted that
after having children, she would balloon the more, but I convinced him
that my mother too is robust. I told the girl that I would go and pray
about it; that maybe God would touch his heart and change his mind about
it. He didn’t consent initially. Immediately he accepted, I introduced
him to the father and not that he courted her. He didn’t court her at
all. When the marriage issue came up I went to Tope’s mother, Rosemary
Da Costa. Tope is the only child of the mother. I went to talk to her
and explain to her the prophecy we received long before the daughter
came on board. I told the mother and her daughter that we should defer
the elaborate wedding till after June, but they refused.
What about Obasanjo, how does he feel about this issue?
He is under a spell. Kenny Martins is the one controlling him and
controlling the Adebutu family. The girl is an only child and she
doesn’t have any other child but to her the marriage is more important
than the future of these children. Rosemary Dacosta and her daughter
have openly displayed utter contempt for the warnings of Jehovah for the
life of my son Olujonwo. And Kenny Martins supports all these too. This
is sheer open display of wicked arrogance and they have laid a powerful
siege on the life of my son, Olujonwo. It is very strange to me because
the marriage ceremony is only for two days and their future is there
forever. You see it is not a wedding they are having because of the
intensity of their preparation. The way they have been cooperating with
my son since I said I was edging out because I wouldn’t be a part of any
wedding that comes up in May; they were very happy. This girl now is
the one picking aso ebi for the Obasanjo family; she is the one
dictating to everybody. They want me to be a spectator.
What was the relationship with your son before the wedding issue came up?
It was okay before the wedding. In fact, the young man is a man any
mother, father or person would want to have as a child. He is a good
man. He is caring. He is respectful, he is not confrontational and he is
not abusive.
What is your relationship like with him now?
The relationship is just there because he has allowed himself to be
turned to Ileya ram. You know Ileya ram is always pulled anyhow. You
see everybody is cooperating with him to disobey God so that they can
implement their own agenda.
