ITREALMS:

The immediate past governor of Oyo State, Senator Abiola Ajimobi is dead at the age of 70, reports ITREALMS.

He reportedly was knuckled under by hands of COVID-19 on Thursday, June 25, 2020 at First Cardiology Consultants Hospital in Ikoyi, Lagos.

Close source to the demised former governor, showed that Senator Ajimobi died at about 16hours on Thursday, but other sources claimed he died almost seven days ago.

The two-term governor and former senator gave up the ghost after a three weeks strain battle with COVID-19 which led to his being on life support for over two weeks.
ITREALMS recalled that late Senator Ajimobi was the first Oyo governor to have won a second term in office.

In the past week, probably since he was brought to First Cardiology Consultant, it was rumour he had died.

Ajimobi’s demise happened same day with the resolution of the leadership crisis in his party, the All Progressive Congress (APC) by the National Executive Committee virtual meeting today and presided over by the President, General Muhammadu Buhari, retired.
ITREALMS also recalled that Ajimobi became a deputy chairman of the APC in March and was expected to take over from the suspended Adams Oshiomhole as chairman, but could not due to his illness, which left vice chairman South South, Hilliard Etta, to assume that position.

Ajimobi was formerly the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of the National Oil and Chemical Marketing Company a subsidiary of Shell Petroleum, Nigeria. He studied both in Nigeria, and the United States.
