Obasanjo's Son Seeks Forgiveness from Estranged Wife

Obasanjo's Son Begs for Forgiveness in Public Apology

“When I reflect on the beautiful moments we have shared, the joy, the laughter, and the dreams of the future...”

Olujonwo Obasanjo, son of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, has made a public apology to his estranged wife, Temitope, and is seeking reconciliation.

Olujonwo Obasanjo, son of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, has made a public plea for forgiveness from his estranged wife, Temitope. This comes after the pair halted their divorce proceedings, and Olujonwo is now seeking reconciliation. In a statement released on Monday, November 25, Olujonwo expressed his desire to make amends and rebuild their relationship.

Olujonwo and Temitope tied the knot in May 2017, but their marriage was plagued by issues from the outset. Temitope is the daughter of billionaire businessman Kessington Adebutu, owner of Premier Lotto, also known as 'Baba Ijebu'. Interestingly, Olujonwo's mother had attempted to prevent the wedding by filing a lawsuit at the Ikeja High Court in March 2017.

Olujonwo's public apology has sparked a range of reactions, with some people praising his willingness to make amends, while others have expressed skepticism about his motives. One commenter noted that Olujonwo's apology was a “nice piece of shit,” while another observed that his public plea for forgiveness was “no small feat.”

Olujonwo's mother had filed a lawsuit against her son and his father-in-law, Kessington Adebutu, in an attempt to halt the wedding. She cited prophecies and warnings from religious leaders, who advised that Olujonwo should avoid lavish celebrations before reaching the age of 34.

Despite his mother's efforts to stop the wedding, Olujonwo and Temitope decided to proceed with their marriage plans. The lawsuit was ultimately dismissed by Justice Lateefa Okunnu on April 10, 2017. The judge ruled that the court had no jurisdiction in the matter, as Olujonwo, then 33 years old, was deemed an adult and capable of making his own decisions.

Olujonwo said, “It is with a heart whole of reflection and hope that I, Mr Olujonwo Obasanjo, share the latest development in the journey between my estranged wife, Mrs Temitope Adebutu Obasanjo and I.

“For some time now, our relationship has been marred by seemingly irreconcilable differences, painful moments that led us down the path of separation and even divorce proceedings.

“Yet, despite the hurt and the distance that has grown between us, recent events have led me to reassess the foundation of our marriage with a fresh perspective.

“There have been moments of quiet reflection, as well as the intervention of caring and trusted individuals, who have encouraged us to consider what brought us together in the first place: the love, the dreams, and the bond that we once shared.

“And in this space of reflection, I have realised that our relationship is worth another chance.”

Olujonwo Obasanjo offered a sincere apology to his estranged wife, Temitope, acknowledging the pain and distress caused by his actions, as well as those of his mother and family. This heartfelt apology marked a significant step towards healing and reconciliation.

Olujonwo reaffirmed his commitment to a peaceful and constructive reconciliation process. He emphasized his desire to approach this process with a clean slate, free from anger, blame, or resentment. Instead, his primary focus is on healing, restoration, and rekindling the love and connection that once existed between them.

Olujonwo Obasanjo, the son of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, had a grand wedding with Temitope, the daughter of billionaire businessman Kessington Adebutu. The traditional wedding ceremony took place at the prestigious Balmoral Hall in the Federal Palace Hotel, while the white wedding was held at the Methodist Church of the Trinity in Tinubu, Lagos.

However, the marriage took a drastic turn just a year later, with Olujonwo citing safety concerns as the reason for filing for divorce. He expressed frustration over his inability to serve Temitope with the divorce papers at Ikeja High Court. Despite the initial drama, there have been no further updates on the divorce proceedings, leaving the outcome uncertain.

In a surprising turn of events, Olujonwo has now made a public plea for forgiveness and reconciliation with Temitope. He acknowledged his role in the breakdown of their marriage and expressed his commitment to rebuilding their relationship. Olujonwo's apology has sparked a range of reactions, with some people praising his willingness to make amends, while others have expressed skepticism about his motives.

Olujonwo Obasanjo, the son of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, made a surprising move on Monday, November 25, by publicly expressing regret over the breakdown of his marriage to Temitope. He humbly asked her to reconsider their separation, taking full responsibility for their estrangement.

In a heartfelt plea, Olujonwo sincerely wished to repair their relationship, prioritizing peace and mutual understanding. This unexpected turn of events has sparked a range of reactions, with some people praising his willingness to make amends, while others have expressed skepticism about his motives.

The concept of irretrievable breakdown of marriage has been a topic of discussion in Indian law, with the Law Commission of India recommending its inclusion as a ground for divorce under the Hindu Marriage Act.

Adding that, “My deepest desire is for reconciliation, healing and restoration of what was lost.

“I recognise the role I played in the challenges we faced and fully accept my responsibility to rebuild the trust and love that we once had.

“This is not a journey I take lightly, but one that I am ready to face with sincerity, humility, and unwavering dedication.

“When I reflect on the beautiful moments we have shared, the joy, the laughter, and the dreams of the future, I am reminded of why I chose Temitope as my partner.

“And though our marriage, like any, has had its ups and downs, those moments of happy partnership and the bond we shared are far too precious to let go.”

In a heartfelt apology, Olujonwo Obasanjo expressed remorse to his estranged wife, Temitope, for the pain and distress caused by his actions. He also acknowledged the hurt inflicted by his mother and family, taking responsibility for their collective role in the breakdown of their marriage.

Olujonwo reaffirmed his commitment to a peaceful and constructive reconciliation process. He emphasized his desire to keep the process free from anger, blame, or resentment, instead focusing on healing, restoration, and rekindling their lost love. By doing so, Olujonwo hopes to rebuild their relationship on a foundation of mutual understanding, respect, and trust.
