I Don’t Know My Age,None Of My 6 Sec School Classmates Who Are Alive Is Less Than 90Yrs Old—Obasanjo

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has stated that he does not know his exact age. Obasanjo said he can only estimate how old he might be by looking at the ages of his former secondary school classmates who are still alive.

According to a report by The Sun on Monday, December 8, 2025, Obasanjo said one of his secondary school classmates is the Olubara of Ibara, Oba Jacob Olufemi Omolade

Obasanjo said about six of his classmates from secondary school are still alive, and none of them is younger than 90. He said that based on this, people can guess his own age. He explained that although he does not know the exact number, he has kept many important documents from his early years.

Obasanjo said he still has his primary school record card and that when he became President and wanted to set up his library, those records were displayed. In his words: “I don’t know my exact age, but I could judge from those who were in school with me. I have given you an example of Olubara (Oba Jacob Olufemi Omolade, the Olubara of Ibara), who is still alive. I believe there are six of my classmates in secondary school that I know are still alive, and none of them is less than 90 years of age.
