Mrs. Florence Ajimobi |
The matriarch of the Ajimobi family, Mrs. Florence Ajimobi is obviously a firebrand and a no nonsense person.
We had always suspected that, especially with her mien when we see her, but we were able to confirm the truth about that part of her that we had always suspected was under the facade, until we saw the way she responded to the state Government's entourage that had come to her Oluyole Estate Ibadan home to pay their condolences, whilst commiserating with the family over the sad passing of their patriarch and former Governor of the State, Senator Abiola Ishaq Akanbi Adeyemi Ajimobi, the boss of the immediate past adminstration, who was just buried today, Sunday, June 29, 2020 at his residence.
The elder statesman was 70 year old December 16, 1949 to June 25, 2020) as at the time of his demise. He succumbed to complications that arose from Covid-19 Coronavirus scourge which led to multiple organ failures.
From what could be gathered from the video that's already gaining so much traction, madam was apparently disappointed that the Oyo state Government led by Engineer Seyi Makinde and ably represented by his deputy Governor at this condolence visit, to commiserate with the family of the bereaved, didn't actually get across to the Ajimobi family personally while the former Governor was sick and at the hospital and then even after he died on June 25, 2020, until they came today on their visit.
The no nonsense Mrs. Florence Ajimobi during the visit, felt it was the right occasion to openly express her gross disappointment and state her mind. Whilst she said what she said, the deputy Governor, Mr Rauf Olaniyan, responded that he had called or tried to call her and that he got no response.
To which the lady of the house exclaimed that she didn't see nor got any call whatsoever and that she couldn't have picked a call from someone she didn't know, that she being the wife of a politician, she wouldn't just pick up just about any calls. And went on to say that his Excellency should have sent a message if they truly cared. That her husband served the state for 8 years of his life.
