Florence, widow of former governor of Oyo State, Abiola Ajimobi, on Sunday expressed her disappointment over the action of Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, on the role he played since her husband took ill.

The widow spoke shortly after he husband was buried at his residence in Ibadan when the deputy governor of the state, Rauf Olaniyan, led a delegation on a condolence visit to the family.

She said throughout the period her husband was in the hospital, Makinde never called her to sympathise.

According to Florence Ajimobi, the governor rather played politics with the health condition of her husband.

Her words: “Life in itself is vanity upon vanity. Either you are PDP or APC, the man is dead and he has been buried.

“But the governor didn’t call me. Even if he had called me and I didn’t pick his calls, I don’t have his number and I have never spoken with him on the phone, he could have sent me a text message for record purposes.

“And then today again, I read in the papers and saw how the Ajimobi’s family were lying about some things.

“Mr deputy, my husband never had anything against the governor or anyone else. We were in different parties but he was an elder statesman and he slept on the ground.

“The Governor of Oyo State never called me nor sent a condolence message, my husband was hospitalised for one month, what politics are we playing, please?”
