Obasanjo turns Keke rider, advises youth

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo rode Kkeke Napep through the Moshood Abiola area of Abeokuta as part of the activities marking his 85th birthday on Saturday.

He offered passengers free rides through Moshood Abiola, NNPC Mega Station, Kuto Market, among others.

It was also part of the Free Keke Programme of the Youth Development Centre of Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL).

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.
