The fact that they have called Ajimobi different names,my encounter with him in 2017 was great,we wanted to host an outstanding/best graduating student from one of Africa’s University in Sudan,who happened to be an indigene of oyo state-Dr. Abdulkadir islamiyat who is from ibadan,because she couldn’t make it down to Nigeria for young achievers awards night,we decided to celebrate and host her in ibadan.
We called her and she said she will be in Nigeria by then,I zoomed off to ibadan to meet the then NUJ chairman in oyo state,the NUJ chairman gave me Ajimobi’s contact,he almost discouraged me calling the Governor saying he will not pick my call as I was later to learn that the Governor and the chairman were like cats and rats.
I called the Governor,he picked at first ring but the call dropped,I sent him a text message which he replied immediately saying he’s not in town but he will send his commissioner.
The date was set for the celebration of Dr.islamiyat Abdulkadir at the NUJ centre in iyaganku,ibadan .I was expecting a commissioner,but three commissioners came,the commissioner for education,information and health with a perm sec.i could not believe when they said the Governor sent them,I later sent a thank you message which he replied and said he will in get in touch with us later,he did and his wife- Florence Ajimobi also celebrated the young g,beautiful medical doctor.
In life,
I have discovered that,you might be looking at six,but I might see nine if we are standing opposite each other.
Rest in peace Gov. Ajimobi
