Drama As Obasanjo Reveals How Witches And Wizards Did To Him

Former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo expressed his regret that his mother did not live to see his achievements, despite carrying him for 12 months in her womb.

He shared his sentiments during the presentation of the drama “Aremu Omo Asabi” at the 66th remembrance event held in honor of his late mother at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library in Abeokuta, Ogun State.

Obasanjo recounted how his mother struggled against witches and wizards while pregnant with him and lamented that she never got to enjoy the fruits of her labor.

“I was told I was in her womb for 12 months, and since I was born, I have never been left alone. She had nine children, but only two of us survived—myself and my sister. I was the only one who went to school because my father believed that no matter how educated a female child is, she would end up in the kitchen,” Obasanjo said.
