DRAMA AS AJIMOBI'S WIDOW ATTACKS THE GOVERNOR AND HIS DEPUTY OVER NEGLECT

By: Agosu Sewanu Omoleye

Florence Ajimobi , the widow of former Oyo governor, Abiola Ajimobi, yesterday  attacked Governor Seyi Makinde and his deputy, Rauf Olaniyan, for not getting across to her when her husband was sick and after his death.

She made this declaration when a delegation of Nigerian Governors’ Forum (NGF) led by its Chairman, Kayode Fayemi, paid a condolence visit to the Oluyole Estate residence of the Ajimobis. The deputy governor was among the delegation, representing Governor Makinde.

After the forum had commiserated with her, the former first lady said in her response: “Since my husband was sick, I think the least anybody can do as a God-fearing person, is to send me words of encouragement at that time.Even, after he died, not even you, Mr. Deputy Governor, called me.” But the deputy governor interjected her, saying: “I called you.”

But Ajimobi’s widow continued: “You called my dead husband?” The deputy governor also responded: “Even, I called you two days ago.”

In her response, the former first lady said: “You could have sent me a text message, sir. I don’t have your number. I don’t pick calls. I am a wife of a politician and I don’t pick numbers that I don’t know. You could have sent me a message sir, your excellency.
“Everybody will die one day, My husband is dead, and he served this state for eight years, eight good years. What are we talking about?”

At this point, newsmen were asked to leave the living room where the widow received the governors.

The chairman, of the forum ,Governor kayode Fayemi while speaking with journalists after the visit,

 

declined comments on the mild drama between Ajimobi’s widow and the deputy governor. Also, the deputy governor was not ready for interview after the visit as he left the place in company of other NGF members on the delegation.

REAL MADRID FC MOVES UP LA LIGA TABLE FOLLOWING LEVANTE VICTORY

Real Madrid moved to the top of La Liga on Sunday as Vinicius Junior and Karim Benzema both scored in a 2-0 win over Levante. Vinicius, who had proved decisive in Madrid’s win over Real Valladolid on Wednesday, looked set to see off Levante as well, before Benzema notched his first goal of the season late on. Madrid have now recorded three clean sheets from their four opening games, although a draw away at Real Sociedad has given an early advantage to Barcelona, who play away at Sevilla later on Sunday. “We had to suffer,” said Zinedine Zidane. “We had chances in the second half to kill the game and that would have made it different. We suffered a lot because they also had chances.” Madrid and Barca had earlier played out the first ever women’s Clasico after Madrid finally launched their female team this season. Yet Barcelona showed their superiority in a 4-0 rout. But the men’s team have become something of a defensive juggernaut under Zidane after their solidity and resilience formed...
