All of us will die one day - Ajimobi's wife tells Oyo Deputy Governor

Wife of the late Ex- Governor of Oyo State, Mrs Florence Ajimobi, had engage in an open exchange of words with the Oyo State deputy Governor, Rauf Olaniyan on Sunday.

This took place at the residence of the late formal Governor, where some Governors and high ranking officials had gone to pay a sympathy visit to the Ajimobi family.

Mrs Ajimobi complained that the Oyo State government had not sympathized 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 instance, 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 come in, asking the two involved in the exchange of words to maintain peace.

The late Ajimobi was laid to rest on Sunday morning at his Oluyole GRA, Ibadan residence.
