Obasanjo makes surprise appearance at Jonathan’s daughter’s wedding.

Former President Olusegun
Obasanjo on Saturday made a
surprise appearance at the church
wedding of President Goodluck
Jonathan’s foster daughter,
Inebharapu.
Inebharapu was joined in holy
matrimony to Simeon at a well-
attended service held at the
National Christian Centre, Abuja.
Obasanjo and Jonathan have not
been seen together in public
events lately, especially since the
public presentation of his book, ‘My
Watch.’
The former President had on
Monday said Nigeria was facing
economic problems due to the
failure of the present
administration to plan for a rainy
day.
He told eminent women leaders
from the South-West, who visited
him at his Hilltop residence in
Abeokuta, Ogun State, that the
nation’s reserves which as of 2007
stood at $67bn had been depleted
by the Federal Government.
Obasanjo arrived the venue in
company with Dr. Andy Uba and
some other aides before the
commencement of the service.
His arrival attracted a loud ovation
from those who were already
seated, especially women.
He was ushered into the hall amidst
standing ovation by his admirers
and took his seat at the VIP section.
He was later joined at the section
by the President of the Senate,
David Mark and his wife.
About 20 minutes after, Jonathan
entered the hall with his wife,
Patience, and the bride.
The President and his wife took
turn to exchange pleasantries with
Obasanjo, Mark and other
dignitaries before taking their
seats.
Obasanjo’s introduction during the
service also attracted a loud
applause from the congregation.
In his vote of thanks at the service
Jonathan specially recognised
Obasanjo’s presence, saying, “Let
me appreciate our father, President
Olusegun Obasanjo, for being here
with us. Thank you for coming.”
The President urged the couple to
embrace the virtue of endurance,
saying they should learn to be
resolving their disagreements in
their bedroom.
He urged them not to bring their
problems to him because he has
more than enough issues to
address.
