A former senator who represented Oyo South Senatorial District in the National Assembly, Soji Akanbi, has paid glowing tribute to late ex-Oyo Governor Abiola Ajimobi 5 years after his death.
Remembering the late leader, who died on June 25, 2020, Akanbi, in a statement on Wednesday, described Ajimobi as a visionary whose legacy continues to shape the political and developmental landscape of Oyo State.
Akanbi reflected on the impactful life of Ajimobi, who served as governor from 2011 to 2019, noting that his tenure was marked by bold reforms, infrastructural strides, and a commitment to peace and order.
Hailing Ajimobi as a political icon, Akanbi noted that his political dexterity, deep intellect, and unmatched drive for progress were outstanding, adding that his influence still resonates within the progressive family and beyond.
He urged younger politicians to study Ajimobi’s model of service and dedication, stating that building a stronger society depends on leaders who are bold, honest, and people-focused.
He said: "Senator Abiola Ajimobi was not just a governor, he was a pathfinder whose administrative reforms and courageous leadership style redefined governance in Oyo State.
“Five years may have passed, but the mark he left behind remains indelible in our hearts and across the land.
“Today, we celebrate not just his memory, but the ideals he stood for. May his soul continue to rest in perfect peace."
