Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has denied one Madam Taiwo Martins, who apologised on his behalf for commanding some monarchs in Oyo State to stand up and greet Governor Seyi Makinde.

While issuing the command to the monarchs at a public event, Obasanjo noted that it was disrespectful of them not to stand up to greet a Governor.

Following the development, Madam Taiwo Martins, who claimed to be Obasanjo’s wife, apologised on behalf of the former President.

However, in a statement by his media aide, Kehinde Akinyemi, Obasanjo expressed annoyance that Taiwo Martins has authored a statement, appealing to Obas and Yorubas to forgive him as her husband, and insisted that he stands by his comments.

While conceding that he and the woman gave birth to two children, the former President stressed that she is neither his wife nor a member of his family.
