Nigeria’s former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, has disclosed that his impressive fitness is attributed to playing squash thrice weekly.
Obasanjo made this known during a courtesy visit to Abia state governor, Alex Otti on Friday.
The ex-president was on his way to attend the 61st birthday celebration of his former Special Assistant on Privatisation, Bishop Sunday Onuoha.
While commending Otti for taking time to exercise, Obasanjo said leaders must stay in healthy condition.
Obasanjo said, “This morning, I came in and I met you exercising. A sound mind and a sound body and I say to you, now I know your secret.
“I was glad when you said you do that every other day. It’s just like me playing squash on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. I think a leader must keep himself or herself in a healthy condition.”
