Former President Olusegun Obasanjo is hardly a man given to frivolities, neither is he one to indulge in Owambe activities, as confirmed by him years ago.
He also confirmed that he is not given to celebrating his birthdays since any of his birthdays is just like any other day of his life. But he is having a different story to tell today, Sunday, March 5th as he celebrates his 80th birthday.
Interestingly, however, Obasanjo is breaking tradition from his well-known anathema to birthday celebrations. He would be celebrating his 80th birthday at the prestigious Eko Hotel and Suites, Lagos, with King Sunny Ade on the bandstand.
It promises to be great evening with top politicians, businessmen and women, celebrities and celebutantes. Already, a lot of celebrities are jostling to be part of the event this weekend.
