Ambode said Ajimobi’s eight years as governor was remarkable, saying that his strides across the length and breadth of Oyo State would never be forgotten in a hurry.

“Ajimobi was very passionate about his state, the Yoruba agenda and the Nigerian project.

“He was a progressive party man to the core and Oyo citizens will testify to the fact that he left the state better than he met it,” he said.

Ambode extended his condolence to the family of the late Oyo governor, urging his wife, Florence, to take solace in the fact that her husband lived a fulfilled life and left indelible mark on his people.

“This is a big loss.

“As much as he was a politician, he was also a devoted family man.

“I pray that Almighty God will grant him eternal rest and his entire family the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss,” Ambode said.
