In a video that has gone viral, the crowd goes wild and excited as Obasanjo jumps off a state.
The former president had given a speech at the 9th International Trade Exhibition and Conference on Agrofood, Plastics, Printing, and Packaging in Lagos state on Tuesday, March 26, when he surprised many with his move declaring he is still active.
The former president who turned 87 on March 5, 2024, surprised the diplomats and international visitors from 17 countries who were at the event.
