Immediate past Oyo Governor Abiola Ajimobi is dead.

He was said to have died of COVID-19 complications at First Cardiology Specialist Hospital, Lagos.

He was 70.

A source close to the former Governor said that Ajimobi breathed his last at about 4pm.

A credible source said Ajimobi, who was being treated for COVID-19 complications has been totally unconscious since last Thursday after his organs totally collapsed.

He said his family will make a formal announcement on Thursday evening.

“His organs collapsed about a week ago. It is just that the family didn’t want to unplug the life support. May his soul rest in peace,” he said.

The former governor was rumoured to be dead last week but his aides and family members denounced the report asking Nigerians to rather pray for his recovery.

Oyo House of Representatives member, Akin Alabi, also tweeted: “Forever in my heart.”

Ajimobi was the first Oyo governor to win a second term in office.

He governed between 2011 and 2019.
