When asked if he missed his late wife, Stella Obasanjo, he said, “Yes. She was a wonderful woman, and to do the job that I had to do the way I had to do it, I needed the peace of mind at home, and she gave me that peace of mind. That was very important.”
Other issues that he addressed on the show include, vying for third term in office, allegations of being corrupt, statements about him trying to cripple Lagos economy under the current president, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, why he stood so firm behind the candidacy of Peter Obi, and the many letters he has written.
