Former President of Sierra Leone, Dr. Ernest Bai Koroma, joined other distinguished former African leaders in celebrating the 88th birthday of Nigeria’s former President, His Excellency Olusegun Obasanjo.

The event, which brought together prominent figures from across the continent, honored Obasanjo’s enduring legacy as a statesman and a key advocate for African unity, democracy, and development. Dr. Koroma’s participation underscores the strong ties between African leaders and their shared commitment to fostering regional cooperation and progress.

Obasanjo, widely regarded as the “big brother” of Nigerian and African politics, has played a pivotal role in shaping the continent’s political landscape. His contributions span decades, from his time as Nigeria’s military and civilian leader to his active involvement in peace mediation and governance initiatives across Africa.

As part of the celebration, a special dinner was hosted by former President Obasanjo at The Delborough Hotel, Victoria Island, in Lagos. The gathering provided an opportunity for African leaders to reflect on Obasanjo’s contributions while also engaging in discussions on the continent’s current challenges and future prospects.

Dr. Koroma’s presence at the event reflects his continued engagement in regional and continental affairs, emphasizing the importance of unity and collaboration among African leaders in the pursuit of a prosperous and stable Africa.
