Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, on Saturday, shocked many residents of Abeokuta, Ogun State capital, as he was seen riding a tricycle and stopping to pick a passenger.
The onlookers expressed surprise at the former president riding the keke.
Obasanjo rode the tricycle, popularly called ‘Keke’, from the premises of the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library through Kuto under bridge, amidst greetings and jubilation by onlookers along the road.
The ex-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
The activity was part of OBJ @ 85 Free Keke Programme of the Youth Development Centre of Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL).
In his remarks, Obasanjo appealed to the youths not to leave Nigeria to those messing it up.
The ex-leader said despite the challenges, they should try to take advantage of available opportunities to make an impact.
“Things are not what they should be but youths, individually and collectively, must make contributions in order to make things the way they should be.
“If you leave things to those who are messing it up for you and who are saying you are the leaders of tomorrow, you will never have that tomorrow.
“God has given you innate ability to be what He wants you to be. If you make up your mind, God will help you and provide people who would help you”, he added.
