How Witches And Wizards Delayed My Birth Before God’s Intervention – Obasanjo

Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo revealed on Thursday that his mother was pregnant with him for 12 months before his birth.

The former president attributed this delay to the influence of witches and wizards, who caused his mother a lot of distress before God’s intervention.

Obasanjo shared this story during a drama presentation titled “Aremu omo Asabi,” which was held to mark the 66th anniversary of his late mother Bernice Obasanjo’s passing.

The drama took place on Wednesday at the main auditorium of the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library in Abeokuta, Ogun State.

This was contained in a statement issued by Obasanjo’s media assistant, Kehinde Akinyemi, on Thursday.

Reflecting on his mother’s life, Obasanjo expressed sadness that she did not live to see his achievements and enjoy the rewards of her hard work.

The former president revealed that his mother had nine children, but only he and his sister survived.

“I was told I was in my mother’s womb for 12 months, and since I was born, I have not been left for once. She had nine children, but two of us survived, myself and my sister.

“I was the only one who went to school because my father’s belief was that no matter how educated a female child is, she would end up in the kitchen,” he said.

During the event, Obasanjo also promised to support the drama troupe’s effort to set a Guinness World Record for the longest open drama performance.

KanyiDaily recalls that Olusegun Obasanjo previously disclosed that some of his classmates though he had gone mad when he told them he wanted to join the Nigerian army.
