Close family sources who confirmed  Abiola Ajimobi’s demise disclosed the Oyo state politician took his last breath around 4 pm.

The source further disclosed that Ajimobi had lung surgery and his condition wasn’t making progress because his kidneys had also failed.

It was gathered, that doctors treating the ex-governor informed his family that his situation had defied every medical intervention. Ajimobi lost his life to the virus that has also killed several prominent Nigerians including late Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari, Abba Kyari who was also treated for the disease at First Cardiology Hospital until he died.

Our condolences to the Ajimobi family and the people of Oyo State on the loss of their father and ex-governor.
