Abiola Ajimobi great big brother, the last National Chairman (South) of APC. Oyo state as the loss a great gem at this crucial point in Nigeria political sagacity, where the political class lack decorum. I will borrow a phrase from the present Executive Governor, Engineer Seyi Makinde, “that Ajimobi had left some blue prints which his administration has undertaken ” . I wonderfully commend the present cerebral and decent Governor for the acknowledgement. I pray that the family Senator Abiola Ajimobi left behind will experience, comfort, peace and long life….may his gentle soul rest in peace.
“Senator Ajimobi was a distinguished Nigerian, who bestrode the economic and political space of the country like a colossus. He made his mark in the corporate world before venturing into politics.

We all will die someday. Therefore we must gather enough strength to carry on.”

“May Allah grant the soul of late Isiaka Ajimobi eternal rest and preserve a place for him in Aljanah firdaus.” Oba Francis Olusola Alao said.
