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.

Mabogunje was a capable hand in goal.
Helping the Amosun’s team on the defensive, were
the secretary to the state government, Adeoluwa
Taiwo, and the state chief of staff, Prof. Ganiu
Olatunde among others.

The Five-a-Side match ended with Obasanjo,
Amosun and Mabogunje winning golden boots,
Most Valuable Player and Golden Gloves awards
respectively.
