Obasanjo Advocates Healthy Living at Golf Tournament

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo stressed the importance of regular exercise and healthy living during the 8th edition of the First Bank OBJ Golf Tournament held at Abeokuta Golf Club in Ogun State. He described the annual competition as a legacy project that has enjoyed support from First Bank Nigeria Ltd for the past eight years.

Obasanjo emphasized that physical exercise is essential for a healthy life, particularly among elderly people, and promotes social interaction and mental well-being. He urged Nigerians and Africans to pay attention to their health and lifestyle habits, advocating for a balanced diet, adequate rest, regular exercise, and compliance with medical check-ups.

Obasanjo, who has successfully managed diabetes for 40 years through disciplined healthcare choices, encouraged people to remain satisfied while pursuing realistic goals in life. Umar Bakar, captain of Abeokuta Golf Club, called for increased government investment in sports infrastructure to engage youth and reduce social vices.

Olusegun Alebiosu, CEO of First Bank Group, commended the participants for their discipline and sportsmanship.
