The immediate past Governor of Oyo State, Abiola Ajimobi is dead. He died at age 70.
The former Governor was said to have died of COVID-19 complications at First Cardiology Specialist Hospital, Lagos.
According to report, Ajimobi breathed his last at about 4pm on Thursday, after spending weeks in intensive care for coronavirus complications.
Born on the 16 December 1949, the late Ajimobi had been rumored last week to have died at the same private hospital.
He was first hospitalised in early June after contracting the deadly virus that has claimed nearly 500,000 lives across the world.
He is now the third prominent Nigerian that died as a result of covid-19 complications after the late Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari, Abba Kyari and Senator Adebayo Osinowo died of covid-19.
