December 21, (THEWILL) – Florence Ajimobi, wife of former Oyo State Governor, late Abiola Ajimobi and his children, have marked their late patriarch’s 73rd posthumous birthday.
The family had the 2022 Annual Senator Abiola Ajimobi Roundtable in commemoration of his birthday last week.
The event, which was tagged “Deepening Nigeria’s Democracy for Sustainable Development,” took place at the Senator Abiola Ajimobi Resource Centre, University of Ibadan.
Professor Eghosa Osaghae, the Director General of the Nigeria Institute for International Affairs (NIIA), presented a paper on the theme of the day. Politicians, traditional rulers and dignitaries from all walks of life were all in attendance.
Apart from the roundtable event, Florence, the delectable wife of the deceased, penned an emotional note on social media to eulogize her late husband. She recalled the lovely times they spent together, how she missed him and the fact that the legacies he left behind has been her consolation.
His children, Idris and Abiola, also penned down glowing tributes to their late father and how they missed his company, encouragement and guidance.
Senator Abiola Ajimobi took his last breath in June 2020, at a private hospital in Lagos State, after spending weeks in the intensive care unit for coronavirus complications. He was a senator from 2003-2007, became the Governor of Oyo State in 2011 and was re-elected in 2015.
