The All Progressives
Congress (APC) has expressed sadness over the death of Abiola Ajimobi, former
governor of Oyo State.
Ajimobi died on
Thursday after battling coronavirus related health complications.
Ajimobi had been
appointed the APC Acting National Chairman after the Court of Appeal upheld the
suspension of the party’s National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole.
On Friday, Mai Mala
Buni, Chairman APC National Caretaker Committee, spoke glowingly of the
deceased.
Buni, the Governor
of Yobe State, assumed the position on Thursday.
He said Ajumobi’s
death came “at a crucial time the party is looking up to our well-meaning
leaders to champion the needed reforms and reconciliation moves to be
undertaken by the newly-appointed caretaker committee”.
Buni noted that the
APC had lost a decent man who in spirit and character embodied its progressive
mantra.
He recalled the
“fond memories and indelible strides Senator Ajimobi left behind”.
“We will always
remember a loving father, husband, gentleman, astute administrator, patriotic
Nigerian, fine politician who was exemplary in all his private and public
endeavors.”
APC sent condolences
to the immediate family, the government and people of Oyo State, and the APC
family.
The party prayed to
Almighty Allah to be merciful and grant Ajimobi Al Jannah Firdaus.
