Obasanjo Promotes Elderly Fitness with 2.5km Walk
On Saturday, Ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo led approximately 100 members of the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library Senior Citizens Club on a 2.5km walk in Abeokuta, Ogun State. This event was part of the club's keep-fit program and aimed to promote the importance of regular exercise for maintaining health in elderly individuals.
The walk commenced from the clubhouse inside the OOPL, proceeding to Iyana Mortuary and back. Obasanjo stressed that exercise is vital for aging gracefully and living well, stating that club membership is restricted to those aged 70 and above.
He pointed out the fitness of a 90-year-old participant during the event. Group Captain Ayobamiji Erinfolami (retd.), the club president, praised Obasanjo for his commitment, while Elder Udo Umoren, a close aide, described the walk as a motivational tonic for senior citizens.
