Olujonwo Obasanjo, son of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, transformed his birthday celebration into an act of compassion by reaching out to vulnerable residents in his hometown of Ibogun, Ogun State.
The event, held on Sunday, began with the arrival of guests warmly welcomed by volunteers who managed the crowd and provided directions to ensure a seamless experience. The celebrant, Olujonwo, was introduced to loud applause, and the purpose of the gathering was explained — a day to give back to the community in gratitude for life and blessings.
The day started with a Thanksgiving in First Baptist Church, Ibogun, after which the celebrant and friends moved to a crowd already seated in former President Obasanjo’s compound in Ibogun.
A major highlight of the program was a medical outreach facilitated by a team of health professionals who provided free health services to residents. Attendees benefited from malaria screening, blood pressure and blood sugar checks, and general medical consultations, giving them an opportunity to access vital healthcare support.
In a show of empathy and social responsibility, Olujonwo distributed food items and essential supplies to 250 elderly people in the community through his Foundation, Olujonwo Ajani Obasanjo Foundation. The aged recipients expressed deep appreciation for the generous gesture, which came at a time of significant economic hardship.
Special remarks were delivered by dignitaries and community leaders who attended the event, praising Olujonwo’s dedication to humanitarian causes and community development.
Olujonwo himself expressed heartfelt gratitude to everyone present, emphasising that the initiative was about “giving thanks by giving back.”
