The recent eviction of former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s ex-wife from her Abuja home over unpaid rent has sparked online reactions, with one insensitive comment suggesting, “That means Obasanjo dey stingy.” This remark reflects ignorance, as expecting Obasanjo to cover rent for a woman who publicly claimed to have left him is unreasonable.
While public figures often face scrutiny, it’s important to separate personal responsibility from assumptions about others’ obligations. Obasanjo has no duty to maintain financial ties with an ex-spouse, especially one who made it clear she parted ways with him. Personal choices come with their own consequences.
