Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State has issued condolence in reaction to the death of Abiola Ajimobi, a former governor of Oyo State.
Ajimobi who is an in-law to Ganduje died yesterday from COVID-19 complications after receiving treatment for weeks.
A statement issued by Ganduje’s Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Malam Abba Anwar reads:
“His death came calling when we needed him the most. He was undoubtedly a detribalised leader and a pillar of national development.
“This death would continue knocking hard on us for a very long time”..
Ganduje also advised the Ajimobi family to imitate the late former governor’s nation-building and leadership qualities.
“It is on this note that I, on behalf of my family, government and the good people of Kano State, send our condolences to the family of our late respected and in-law, the government and people of Oyo State, over this unbearable demise of the former governor,’’ Ganduje said.
