A wife of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Mrs Taiwo Obasanjo, has filed a suit seeking to stop the wedding of her son, Olujonwo Obasanjo.
The suit, with no. ID/262FPM/2017 was filed before the Ikeja High Court on Monday and will be held on Justice Lateefa Okunnu on April 10.
Mrs Obasanjo has called for the wedding scheduled to hold on May 11 and 12 to be rescheduled to June 1.
The former president and the father of the bride, Sir Kessington Adebutu, promoter of Premier Lotto known as “Baba Ijebu” are respondents to the suit.
The intending couple, Olujonwo and Tope had an elaborate introduction on Dec. 17, 2016, with the social media awash with photographs of the event.
Mrs. Obasanjo approached the court because saying as the mother of the groom, she had the rights to take part in the deliberations, decisions and activities leading to the forthcoming ceremony.
According to her, she had been excluded from the preparations for the ceremonies.
She added that she had received prophesies and warnings from men of God to the effect that Olujonwo, her son who turns 34 on June 1, should not do or be involved in any elaborate celebration before his birthday.
The groom’s mother wants the court to compel Obasanjo and Adebutu to shift the wedding to a date after June 1 after she had appealed to Adebutu and Mrs Rosemary Dacosta, the mother of the bride, Tope Adebutu, the bride-to-be as well as Chief Kenny Martins, her twin sister.
