Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has sworn that woe betides anyone who attempts to relegate his eldest child, Iyabo Obasanjo-Bello.
Obasanjo made this vow on Tuesday at an event commemorating the 2022 World Diabetics Day, organized by the Olusegun Obasanjo Foundation (OOF) at the Main Auditorium of Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL), Abeokuta, Ogun state capital.
He said, “Then, I vowed that whatever I can do for girl-child education, I will always do. And this unfortunate idea of girl-child education ending in the kitchen is unimportant.
“The culture of giving preference to a male child over female child is an idea and culture that must be killed. Woe betide anyone who attempt to relegate my eldest child, Iyabo. Iyabo will crush such person, be he or she.”
Obasanjo condemned those against girl-child education in the country, declaring that woes betide anyone against such step.
In a statement by his Special Assistant on Media, Kehinde Akinyemi on Tuesday, Obasanjo emphasised on the need for contentment in every human endeavour as it could also reduce the chances of getting Diabetic.
