Mrs. Florence Ajimobi, wife of the late Deputy National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Abiola Ajimobi, has said that her late husband died a fulfilled man.
The late former governor’s widow recalled that her husband gave her all the strength she needed as a woman, noting that her greatest consolation was that “Abiola Ajimobi made heaven and he is at peace with God.”
Mrs. Ajimobi spoke at her Oluyole, Ibadan residence when the Chairman of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, Oyo State Council, Ademola Babalola, and other officials paid her a courtesy visit on the occasion of this year’s Eid-el-Kabir.
She said, “When I cry, I do so because I miss him. I miss everything about him. I miss his love, advice, having him around me; he was my strength and my greatest supporter. He thinks I am a strong woman, but this time, I tell you, I am not a strong woman. He used to give me all the strength I needed as a woman.
“So, when I cry, it is not because I think he did not achieve much, but because I miss so much about him. I don’t want to behave like an unbeliever because I know nothing happens without God’s input. We all came to the world one day and we are all going back one day. Nobody knows when death is going to come. I believe so much in destiny and I believe my husband’s time was up.”
Mrs. Ajimobi was convinced that her late husband lived a fulfilled life.
She said, “What does it profit a man even if he lived up to 90 years and he can’t make heaven? Abiola Ajimobi made heaven and he is at peace with God. That is my greatest consolation. That is my joy. I cried and was sad because I miss him.
“For those of you that are here today, I say thank you from the depth of my heart. On behalf of my children and the entire family, I say thank you. What we are doing here today is to prove to the world that he lives on. My husband is not physically here, but I know his spirit lives on.
“This is because to live in the hearts of people you love means you live forever. His legacies will continue to be upheld. God helping us, everything he has achieved in Oyo State, and Nigeria, by extension, will forever live on.“
