Former President Olusegun Obasanjo led current and former students of Baptist Boys High School (BBHS) Abeokuta on an 18-kilometer walk around the Ogun State capital as part of the school’s centennial celebrations.
During the walk, Obasanjo was joined by the leadership of the old boys association, led by the National President, Prof Kayode Oyesiku, and a large number of current students, who entertained residents, motorists, and passers-by.
In a statement issued on Monday, Obasanjo’s media aide, Kehinde Akinyemi, said residents and enthusiasts echoed and praised the former President for his prowess, energy, and endurance in embarking on the walk despite his age.
Among those who played host to Obasanjo and his team were the Olu Ibara of Ibara, Oba Jacob Omolade; former Finance Minister, Onolapo Soleye; and the Alake of Egbaland, Oba Aremu Adedotun Gbadebo.
They walked and sang the school anthem, among other songs.
Thereafter, the walkers moved to the Ibara Housing Estate, the residence of Soleye. Subsequently, the team took the walk again to Ake, the palace of Oba Gbadebo.
