Former governor of Oyo State, Abiola Ajimobi, is dead.
Reports of his death became rife on Thursday.
Efforts to reach his media aide, Mr. Bolaji Tunji, for confirmation on phone was unsuccessful.
The former governor was said to have died at the age of 70 at the intensive care unit of First Cardiologist and Cardiovascular Consultants Hospital, Lagos where he was said to be receiving treatment for coronavirus.
He was admitted at the hospital on June 2.
It would be recalled that there were reports last week of his death, but his media aide, Mr. Bolaji Tunji, denied it.
Tunji who reacted to the reports on Facebook said: “My attention has been drawn to the rumours circulating on the social media about my principal. Kindly disregard. We however continue to pray for him. Thank you all for the show of concern.”
Abiola Ajimobi was Oyo State governor from 2011 to 2019.
