This took place during the visit of some governors to
commiserate with her and the Abiola Ajimobi family.
Mrs. Ajimobi complained that the Oyo State government had not
commiserated with the family on the death of her husband.
Addressing the visiting governors accompanied by Oyo State
deputy governor, Mr Rauf Olaniyan, the former first lady said, “I think the
least anybody can do, as a God-fearing person, is to send me a word of
encouragement at that time.
And even after he died, not even you, Mr Deputy Governor
called me…”
At that point, the deputy governor interjected saying, “I
called you.”
To which Mrs Ajimobi replied, “You should have sent me a
text message.
I don’t have your number, I can’t pick up. I am the wife of
a politician, I don’t pick numbers I don’t know. You can send a message.
Everybody is going to die. My husband is dead, and he served this state for
eight years. What are we talking about!”
Other governors present had to wade in asking both sides to
keep the peace.
The late Ajimobi was buried on Sunday morning at his Oluyole
GRA, Ibadan residence.
