Lagos — Son of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Dr Gbenga Obasanjo, yesterday, reiterated his decision to part ways with his estranged wife, Moji, adding that notwithstanding the dissolution of the marriage, Moji could continue to bear his name if she wants.
At the resumed hearing of the case before Justice Dawodu-Williams of Ikeja High Court, Gbenga, who mounted the witness box for the first time since the commencement of the case told the court that he wants the marriage dissolved.
Led in evidence by his counsel, Mr. Emankhu Addeh, Gbenga pledged to abide by the terms of settlement and also take full responsibility of the children, saying that is his obligation whether the court rules on it or not.
"My obligation to my children will not shake, I will take care of them as needed with or without court decision".
According to him, "Moji could continue to bear my name if she so wants I don't care, but I don't want to have anything to do with her again. I want the marriage dissolved."
Gbenga had approached the court late last year asking for the dissolution of his marriage with Moji on the grounds that she (Moji) was having illicit affairs with his father.
