Late Sen. Abiola Ajimobi, a former fellow senator who completed his second semester as Oyo State governor this past year, has expired.  

Mr Ajimobi expired on Thursday in a private hospital in Lagos after spending weeks in intensive care of coronavirus complications, based on Akin Alabi, a national lawmaker and political partner of the previous governor's.   

Mr Ajimobi's passing came a week later he had been rumoured to have expired in exactly the identical hospital.  This rumour was untrue.  

He was hospitalised in early June after contracting the deadly virus which has sickened millions and maintained almost 500,000 lives throughout the world.  

After unsuccessful efforts, he was elected governor in 2011 and becoming the Oyo State governor to serve two conditions.  He was survived by his spouse and kids.
