I love this man like seriously, he's intelligent, strong, hillarious, brilliant and an elder Stateman. Former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo,
Wednesday, displayed his soccer skills during a
football match held at MKO International Stadium,
Abeokuta.
It was a novelty match between his Presidential
Library team against a team of Ogun State
Government, led by the Governor, Senator Ibikunle
Amosun.
The match was organised as part of the programme
to commemorate the 78th birthday of Obasanjo.
Obasanjo’s team defeated the state government
team by 2-1, with the ex general grabbing a brace.
The former president in his usual hilarious manner
thrilled spectators after scoring two goals. He,
however, failed to convert many chances that came
his way.
The Special Assistant to the governor on Special
Duties scored the only goal for the government
team.
The OOPL team, which featured players such as
Prof. Akin Mabogunje, 88-year-old Dr. Femi Olopade,
and one of the aides of the former president, Vitalis
among others, gave the Amosun-led team a tough
time.
On the other hand, Amosun’s team included the
secretary to the state government, Adeoluwa Taiwo,
and the state chief of staff, Prof. Ganiu Olatunde,
among others.
The 5-man-team match ended with Obasanjo,
Amosun and Mabogunje winning golden boots, most
valuable player and golden gloves, respectively.
