Former President Olusegun Obasanjo says he would like to live for more than 19 years on earth.
Obasanjo, who is 83, stated that he would like to live beyond 100 years so as to continue to celebrate more anniversaries of the coronation of the Agura of Gbagura, Oba Sabur Bakare, Jamolu II.
Oba Bakare marked his one year as the 9th Agura, in Egbaland, this year as he was presented with his staff of office on May 21, 2019.
The former president stated this at an interdenominational service to commemorate the anniversary.

He disclosed that he would like to be alive to mark the traditional ruler’s 20th anniversary.
“I will be here to celebrate your 20 years anniversary with you whether I am invited or not.
“By the time I also partake in celebrating your 20th anniversary with you, if God wishes, He can call me to come and meet Him in heaven because I know by that time, I will be above 100 or more,” Obasanjo said.
Advising the monarch to seek unity of the Yoruba race, the former president stated, “There are times that Kabiyesi don’t listen to words and there are times he does listen to words. If we are united, there is nothing we can’t do in Yorubaland and Nigeria as a whole.”
