Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, on Friday, in Akure the Ondo State capital, dazed everyone at the residence of Afenifere leader, Pa reuben Fasoranti, when he chose to sit on bare floor in reverence to the nonagenarian.
Of course, the former president is a man that can spring surprises any time as can take to the dance floor, anywhere. He can prostrate, take to dance floor or engage in a football match.
Recall that at the pick of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi (Ojaja II), the former President was captured prostrating for the youthful monarch (who was in his early 40s when he was selected) apparently in a show of respect to the foremost Yoruba traditional ruler.
So, on Friday, the former president, again, surprised many by sitting on the floor to pay homage to Fasoranti, who is now 94 years old.
Obasanjo is believed to be 83 years now.
