Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Friday surprised many when he
outpaced younger people during a health walk held in Abeokuta,Ogun State
capital.Mr. Obasanjo who is 80 years old, led about a hundred residents on a two
kilometre trek on Moshood Abiola Way, to commemorate World Diabetics
Day.
But he shocked many participants when he introduced brisk walking that
left some panting and racing to catch up with the retired general.
The participants included the traditional ruler of Iwo, Adewale Akanbi
who later had to fold his regalia and hand over his staff of office to
his aide, to enable him reach the energetic former president.
Many of the older participants later withdrew midway into the trek, realising that they could not match Mr. Obasanjo’s pace.
Speaking at the end of the exercise, the former president said he was
medically fit because he, ”religiously kept to his medication and was
mindful of what he consumed.”
”I am fit because I religiously follow my medications and watch what I
eat and drink. This must be a caution for all of us,” he said.
”I don’t know when I would die but I am above 80 and many of you can’t
even beat me to the exercise this morning. Many of you were running
after me.”
