Former President Olusegun Obasanjo who clocks 83 on Thursday had disclosed that coronavirus forced him to make adjustment to an elaborate programme earlier planned to mark the day his birthdate, The Nation Newspaper can report.
Speaking at a symposium organised to celebrate his birthday in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, the former Nigerian leader said the birthday ceremony was originally scheduled to hold between Tuesday and Friday, adding that the programmes for Tuesday and Wednesday were put off, because some of the participants could not attend because of the coronavirus.
Three suspected cases of the virus had been reported in the early hours of Friday in Lagos.
