Visiting My Daughter In Aso Villa Is Like Going To Jail Soyode, Father Of Vice President’s Wife
Father of the wife of the Vice President, Mrs. Dolapo Osinbajo, Olutayo Soyode, has revealed why he dreads going to the Presidential villa, Abuja to visit his daughter.
The 74-year-old said going to Aso Rock was like going to jail. Speaking with Punch, Soyode said his movement would be monitored and he would need to sign various forms before going in or out of Aso Rock for security reasons.
The closed associate and son-in-law to late Chief Obafemi Awolowo, also explained that he loved to be free, adding that he was not the type to sit in one place and be watching television under heavy security.
According to Soyode, “I don’t go there often. Going there is like going to jail, as far as I’m concerned. It’s like locking me up.
“The way you see me, do I look like someone that can be kept in one place and before I could go out, I have to sign papers and there would be plenty phone calls? I would just run mad, because I’m not used to such.
“I’m a free man. That place (Aso Rock), is a very good place but I’m not the type to live there, so I don’t go there often. Anytime I go, I do give them time, like telling them I was coming for two days.
” I don’t even live with them. Let us say we are in Abuja now, you possibly can’t visit me for this interview. They won’t allow you to come in, and if you have to, you would have to sign different papers.
“If I go there, I would be there alone, watching television. I can’t do that. I would rather stay where they can visit me and anybody can see me.”
