Makinde Reveals The Only Thing He Will Remember Ajimobi For, As He Orders Flags to Fly At Half-Mast

-

Ajimobi, who was governor from 2011 to 2019, was named the Acting National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress last week, but never resumed due to his battle to survive the deadly disease -COVID-19 in an Ikoyi hospital, in Lagos.


Although, he was said to have tested negative for COVID-19, but the illness had caused his health to deteriorate, consequently, gave up the ghost on Thursday afternoon.

 

Consequently, while reacting to the disheartening incident, the incumbent Governor of Oyo state, Seyi Makinde, has euligise the former Governor, as he acknowledged that, he will be remembered for leaving a blueprint for some of the activities that his administration is now undertaking.

Seyi Makinde, in a Tweet on Thursday evening, said:



"I was so sorry to hear the news of the passing away of the immediate past Governor of Oyo State, Senator Abiola Ajimobi which sad event took place earlier today.

I cannot begin to imagine the pain the family must be going through at this time because of the loss of their patriarch. It is my prayer that God grants them all the strength to bear this great loss".


While speaking further, the Oyo state Governor, said, I join the good people of Oyo State as we mourn the death of a statesman. I have directed that flags fly at half-mast tomorrow in honour of our brother, friend and illustrious son of Oyo State.

Surely, he will be remembered for leaving a blueprint for some of the activities that our administration is now undertaking.


The Oyo State Government will be extending to his family, all the courtesies deserving of his personage. May his soul rest in peace, he concluded.

Do you think Makinde has done well by acknowledging the works of the former Governor in Oyo state ?

Kindly share your thoughts on this.
