Mixed Martial Arts fighter, Francis Ngannou, visited former president Olusegun Obasanjo, at his office in Abeokuta, the Ogun State.

Ngannou disclosed this via images on his Instagram account.

The caption reads, “It was an honor meeting the legendary former Nigerian president, H.E. Olusegun Obasanjo, yesterday at his home office in Abeokuta. It was great receiving some words of wisdom from the legend.”

The Cameroonian-French fighter had recently arrived in Nigeria after spending the Christmas holidays in his home country of Cameroon.

Over the weekend, Ngannou was seen in Lagos socialising with music sensation Burna Boy and former UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman.

This visit marks Ngannou’s return to Nigeria nearly three months after his stunning first-round knockout victory over Brazil’s Ricardo Ferreira in his debut match with the Professional Fighters League (PFL).
