The Speaker, Lagos House of Assembly, Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa, has described the death of Isiaka Abiola Ajimobi, the immediate past governor of Oyo State, as another great loss to the South-West and Nigeria.
Ajimobi’s death came a few days after the death of Senator Sikiru Adebayo Osinowo from Lagos State.
Obasa, in his condolence message released by his media office on Friday, said he was particularly pained about the death of the former governor.
He said he died at a time his experience was seriously needed by the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, through which he governed Oyo State.
He described Ajimobi as a consummate politician who would be greatly missed by the country and its people including those he served as governor.
“Senator Ajimobi was one of the few Nigerian politicians who transversed both the corporate and political world and made success of both.
“He died at a time the country and the APC needed his wealth of experience and wisdom from both worlds,” Obasa said.
“I pray the Almighty Allah grant him aljarnah firdaus and give his family the fortitude to bear this huge loss,” the Speaker prayed.
