Some members of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Oyo State, on Sunday, organised a special one-year remembrance prayer for the late former governor of the state, Senator Isiaq Abiola Ajimobi.
The prayer held at Olorunsogo Central Mosque, Orita-Aperin, Ibadan, was organised by leaders of the party from Ibadan South-East Local Government namely: Alhaji Basheer Ajibade; Dr Ishak Kolawole; Mr Kayode Arowolo; Honourable Ibrahim Dudu; Alhaji Majeed Adegbenro; Honourable Remi Olalekan; Honourable Murisiku Oladimeji, among others, had in attendance members of APC from across the length and breadth of Oyo State.
Speaking on behalf of the organisers of the programme, former Chairman of Ibadan South-East Local Government, Alhaji Abass Bolaji Nojeemdeen, said the prayer was put together to honour the late former governor being a son of Ibadan South-East Local Government.
“Our leaders from the local government felt there should be a special prayer for former governor Ajimobi and that is the reason this prayer was organised as a mark of honour for what he was able to do for the development of Oyo State and also to pray for the repose of his soul.
“We really miss him, had it been he was alive, there are a lot of things that would not have been happening and there are some that ought to have been happening, so we miss him a lot.
“Like the situation we have now in Oyo State, particularly in Ibadan, he was somebody who would have risen to the occasion. If you listen to what the people are saying about him, you will understand my point very well because he was somebody who we can say was well exposed even before he became the governor that was why he was able to use the experience when administering the state especially security.”
Nojeemdeen further stated that: “You will recall that when the security of the state was being more threatened that he formed a special security outfit, Operation Burst to take care of the situation and so many other things. We can never forget the impact he made in Oyo State.”
