Delta Late Billionaire’s Sons At War: George Gbagi Disclaims Emuobo As Eldest Son
…Who is the real eldest son?
George Gbagi, the acclaimed eldest son of late billionaire and former Minister of State Education, Late Olorogun Kenneth Gbagi, has disowned Emuobo Gbagi for parading himself as the eldest son.
In a video obtained by BIGPEN NIGERIA (https://bigpenngr.com), George claimed to be Gbagi’s eldest son contrast to widely known impression that Emuobo was the late industrialist senior son.
George said, “I am George Gbagi, the first son of Olorogun Barrister Kenneth Gbagi… I want to state unequivocally that the Gbagi family is a highly reputed and disciplined and united family.”
He said that he decided to set the record straight on the backdrop of an earlier publication by Emuobo where he was said to have allegedly made some ‘lies-infested claims’ concerning him and the family.
George accused Emuobo of trying to usurp his position and making false claims about him, saying “when people try to say things that are not truth, we just have to come out and address it because as I said earlier it touches on the very foundation of my existence. That’s why this disclaimer became very necessary”.
He allegedly accused Emuobo of waging a fight against their father’s widow, maintaining that despite the fact that his father had children with four women including his mother, he had only one wife, who is a judge.
He said, “Who goes about selling his father’s properties three days before his father’s burial and you telling everybody you’re the first son?…Here is a young man who has been fighting and still fighting his father’s widow, sending people to my father’s house in Abuja, sending his sister to the house in UK to break into it.
“I don’t need to state the kind of people that were calling me to say ah your father just passed, why are you people putting all of his properties for sale?”
George also questioned Emuobo’s age, saying, “If I am well over and above 45 years and Emuobo says he is 39 years, how then is he Olorogun Barrister Kenneth Gbagi’s first son?”
“In any case I also have a younger brother who is the second son of Olorogun Barrister Kenneth Gbagi so if Emuobo is anything, if indeed he is Olorogun Barrister Kenneth Gbagi’s son, he will be nothing but Olorogun Barrister Kenneth Gbagi’s third son”, he declared.
George who acknowledged the video when contacted by BIGPEN NIGERIA, advised Emuobo to “start acting like” a true son of their father and make sacrifices for the family’s legacy.
George maintained, “If indeed you’re Olorogun Barrister Kenneth Gbagi’s son, you should start acting like one and not about telling everyone that care to listen that you’re now one of the richest people in Delta State.”
But when contacted, Emuobo sent a campaign post bearing George’s photo with the name ‘Imuero George Oghenekevwe’, a Delta State House of Assembly, Ethiope East Constituency, candidate under the SDP platform in the March 18 general election as his response, thus putting a question mark on the said ‘George Gbagi’ who claimed to be late Olorogun Kenneth Gbagi’s eldest son.
Recalls that Gbagi who was a governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in March 2023 died in May at the age of 62 and was buried last month.
