The Possible Reason Why Ex- Governor Ajimobi’s Muslim Funeral Rites Was Delayed.

Many People are wondering why former Governor of Oyo state, Abiola Ajimobi who is a Muslim had been delayed buried many days after his death. Let me give you the hint; During his tenure as the Governor of Oyo state, Abiola Ajimobi converted so many of the state’s properties into his personal use without paying a dime for any of them. Some of these properties have since been seized by the Oyo state government and converted back to the state’s use. So when it was time to bury him, his wife, Florence Ajimobi strategically chose one of the choice properties that her late husband stole from Oyo state, a gigantic edifice very close to the Government house in Ibadan. But the said property had been under lock and key by the state government even prior to his death so it was very surprising that she made attempts to stylishly supplant the property once again. She knows too well that if she triumphs in burying her husband there, the property becomes automatically theirs.

But the state Governor Seyi Makinde is not having it, Seyi has refused the pressure from her. Firstly she got the Vice President to interfere in the matter. Osibanjo is said to have called the Governor and pleaded on her behalf but the governor maintained that he has looked away on so many occasions and obliged the Ajimobi’s countless times in allowing them keep their various loots. That he wouldn’t stand by and watch this lady play a fast one on the state by trying to bury her husband there. When Florence Ajimobi saw that the former Redeem pastor was unable to make it happen, she reached out again to former President Obasanjo to intervene on her behalf and Obasanjo promised to speak with Governor Seyi Makinde but as at this afternoon Obasanjo has not gotten back to her. Knowing Obasanjo very well, he might not have even called Seyi Makinde because he knows the ex Oyo First Lady is just playing smart and greedy. Since they don’t want to bury him in his Oluyole home.

Mrs F. Ajimobi who sits on a multi billion naira fortune that her husband acquired as a two time governor of Oyo state. Whether in pounds sterling, dollars or naira, money is not in any way her problem. She has just too much money at her disposal; in a state her husband left in a chaos. He had university students stay at home for two years. And he refused to pay teachers and lecturers. The story is terrible. But even with all these, his widow is more interested in using her late husband’s burial to steal more from the state this single action perfectly mirrors the mindset of the late politician and his wife. These people believe that looting our financial destinies was actually their full fledged rights.
