It was a fun filled football match on
Wednesday evening at the MKO Abiola International Stadium, Abeokuta when
a team led by former president Olusegun Obasanjo of Olusegun Obasanjo
Presidential Library slugged it out with a team of Ogun State Government
led by the governor Senator Ibikunle Amosun.
At the end of the novelty match which
was to commemorate the 78th birthday of Obasanjo, OOPL team beat the
state government team 2-1.
The two goals were scored by Obasanjo
while the Special Assistant to the governor on Special Duties scored the
only goal for the government team.
The first half of a 60-minute of play
was goalless, as both team lost scoring chances. Obasanjo who displayed
some dexterity on the field of play lost about four scoring chances.
But the OOPL team rebound in the second
half with players such as Prof. Akin Mabogunje, 88-year-old Dr. Femi
Olopade, and one of aides of the former president, Vitalis among others,
gave the Amosun-led team a tough time. ...Punch
