The elder statesman in his memoir ‘My Watch’ revealed the number of children he has in the order they were born. According to him, of the highly-successful 20 children, 19 are biological, except Kunle, who is his nephew.
Obasanjo adopted Kunle as his biological child “in every sense of the word to compensate for his mother being deprived of an education by our father”
“All my children are frightfully independent and self-assertive. I have started observing the same traits in their children, my grandchildren. In their different areas of endeavour, my children have all made a mark. Eight of them have acquired PhD degrees in their individual areas of learning,” he said.
