Former President Obasanjo donates chimpanzee named Patience to wildlife sanctuary

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, has donated a three year old chimpanzee denominated Patience to a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO), Pandrillus, operator of the Drill Ranch Afi Mountain. Co-progenitor of the zoo, Liza Gadsby disclosed this in a telephone interview with Vanguard.
"The chimpanzee was formerly at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library Wildlife Park but during our (Liza and her husband) recent visit to the former president at Abeokuta, we convinced him that she will be better off at our facility, which he acceded to, because he has visited the Drill Ranch Afi Mountain, and impressed with what we have done," she verbalized. The NGO in a post on Facebook thanked Obasanjo, while promising to take good care of the chimpanzee. "President Obasanjo donates chimpanzee "Patience" to Pandrillus! Optically discerned here at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library Wildlife Park in Abeokuta - from left: Peter, Liza with Patience, and Mr. President.

As President of Nigeria, he visited Drill Ranch in 2001, and made a follow up visit in 2011. President Obasanjo recognises the special care desiderata of chimpanzees and ergo decided to place 3 year old Patience with Pandrillus so she can grow up in the forest as a component of the astronomically immense chimpanzee group at Drill Ranch Afi Mountain. Thank you, Mr. President! Patience is a fantastic chimpanzee who has been well cared for by the staff of the OOPL Wildlife Park. Once she has consummated her medical screening in Calabar, she will join the group at the incipiently consummated Nigerian Chimpanzee Center - located at Drill Ranch Afi Mountain in Boki LGA of Cross River State.
