Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo on Saturday, January 10, made a surprise appearance at the wedding of President Goodluck Jonathan's daughter, Inebharapu Paul.
Obasanjo's presence at the ceremony came as a shock due to his recent criticisms of Jonathan made worse by the publication of his controversial autobiography "My Watch".
In the book, Obasanjo describes Jonathan as selfish and callous while also accusing him of encouraging corruption.
Obasanjo's arrival at the event and subsequent introduction were reportedly greeted with loud applause by other guests.
Jonathan in his vote of thanks also recognised the ex-President while appreciating him for his support while further stating that Obasanjo "is our father".
BBN however gathered that before the wedding ceremony the GEJ camp had made moves to reconcile the President and Chief Obasanjo as politicking gets deeper ahead of the February 14 Presidential election. It was learnt that strong elements within the PDP who are beneficiaries of the Obasanjo administration are behind the move as they intend ensuring that PDP retain the Presidency.
