Former Head Of State and President Chief Olusegun Obasanjo has cleared the air to say he has no quarrels at all with the Aare Onakakanfo of Yorubaland, Chief Gani Adams.
The Former Head of State who acknowledged that yes he was at the residence of the Afenifere chieftain, Chief Ayo Adebanjo, in Lekki but he wasn’t there for a reconciliatory mission, clarifying that if such was to happen then it would be at his residence in Abeokuta.
Chief Olusegun Obasanjo in a statement released by his Special Assistant on Media, Kehinde Akinyemi, on Wednesday, said he paid a visit to Chief Adebanjo, but met the Aare Onakanfo at his place.
The fomer president said he refused to grant Chief Gani Adams’ request to pay him a visit, because of his reservation for his ‘past way of life, which he said was in no way in accordance with his standards and principles’.
Obasanjo further averred that he had refused to grant Chief Gani Adams permission to visit him since when he was in government, and its still same now even when he is out of the government. 
The statement was titled “No fight to warrant reconciliation with Adams – Obasanjo”
The statement read,
“My attention has been drawn to some publications reporting an acclaimed reconciliation between Gani Adams and myself at the residence of Chief Ayo Adebanjo in Lagos today.
“It is true that I paid a personal visit to Chief Ayo Adebanjo at his residence in Lekki Phase 1 on December 2, 2020 and I met Gani Adams there.
“I have no quarrel with Gani Adams, but for his past way of life which was not in accord with my standards and principles. I have in the past, both in government and out of government, refused to grant Gani’s request to visit me.
“If at all anybody feels I have a quarrel with him or her that needs reconciliation, such reconciliation will, no doubt, take place in my residence in Abeokuta only.”
