Group holds drama for Obasanjo's mother

Channels TV reported that Obasanjo made this statement during a drama presentation to mark 66 years since his mother's passing.

The drama, "Aremu omo Asabi," was held at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library in Abeokuta.

The former president lamented that his mother did not live to see his success and enjoy the fruits of her labour. He said his mother gave birth to nine children, but only two, himself and his sister, survived.

Obasanjo's father believed that educating a female child was unnecessary, so only he went to school.
