Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State has described the
death of the former governor of Oyo State, Sen. Abiola Ajimobi, as shocking and
devastating.
Ajimobi reportedly died on Thursday evening in a private
medical facility in Lagos after a brief sickness.
The condolence is contained in a statement signed by the
Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Malam Abba Anwar, on Friday in Kano.
“His death came calling when we needed him the most. He was
undoubtedly a detribalised leader and a pillar of national development.
“This death would continue knocking hard on us for a very
long time,’’ he said.
He prayed for Almighty Allah’s blessing and forgiveness to
the reposed soul of the late Ajimobi.
Ganduje also commiserated with Ajimobi family, urging them
to strive hard and follow his footsteps of unrelenting commitment to
nation-building and patriotic leadership.
“It is on this note that I, on behalf of my family,
government and the good people of Kano State, send our condolences to the
family of our late respected and in-law, the government and people of Oyo
State, over this unbearable demise of the former governor,’’ Ganduje said.
He then prayed for Almighty Allah to forgive all his
shortcomings and reward his good deeds.
