A photograph has shown former President Olusegun Obasanjo in Akure, Ondo state, with Pa Reuben Fasoranti, who recently marked a birthday.

What he did as seen in the photograph made it more newsworthy. To honour the 94-year-old Pa Fasoranti, an elder statesman, whose house Obasanjo visited, the former president sat on the floor.

Obasanjo's lively personality is an infective one. Little wonder there is never a dull moment wherever he is.

In other news, a Nigerian lady born in the UK, Aminat Sule, narrated how she became Nigeria's former president Olusegun Obasanjo's self-appointed PA.

She said that before she had an encounter with Obasanjo, she had always wanted to be the youngest first female foreign affairs minister for Nigeria, a dream that seemed tall considering the fact that she was born in the UK.
