Breaking: Why Obasanjo Did The Unthinkable In Abeokuta City… He Reacts

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has explained the reason why he chose to ride a tricycle and picked a male passenger around the Kuto area of Abeokuta.

CityNews Nigeria reports that the former president made his reasons known in a statement through his Special Assistant on Media, Kehinde Akinyemi.

According to Obasanjo, he rode from his Pent House residence at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL), through the Kuto area, amidst greetings and jubilation from shocked onlookers along the road because he wanted to demonstrate how people can start small and grow their craft.

He added that it was wrongful for society to consider all keke riders as miscreants, noting that such notions have led many young people to avoid the virtue of starting a small business.

The statement reads: “The president, along the route, stopped and picked a male passenger to demonstrate that riding in the tricycle is safe if used properly and for people to learn how to start small and grow their craft.

“When I recently gave out tricycles to 85 young people across the nation, I received some feedback that they were sort of inappropriate gifts and some wondered if they were the best and suitable for young people.
