Oyo State Government Denies Claims From Securing Postponing The Burial Service of Ex-Representative Abiola Ajimobi

The Oyo State Government has denied claims it is answerable for the postponement in the internment of a previous legislative head of the state, Abiola AJimobi, who kicked the bucket from various bombed organs due to COVID-19 intricacies in a private emergency clinic in Lagos on Thursday, June 25.

Gossipy tidbits have been overflowing on the web that the group of the expired representative and the state government were at loggerheads over where Ajimobi will be let go.

In any case, in an announcement discharged toward the beginning of today, the Chief Press Secretary to the Oyo state representative Seyi Makinde, Mr. Taiwo Adisa, portrayed the bits of gossip as ”mischievous untruths”. As indicated by Adisa, the group of the perished representative had moved toward the state government for endorsement to cover the previous senator on a plot of land at the Agodi GRA territory of the state which is at present under prosecution.

Adisa said the state government declined the solicitation of the family since the responsibility for land being referred to is being tested in court. He said endorsement has been given for the family to cover the representative in his Oluyole home.

The announcement peruses

“Considering the extraordinary requests from news media associations with respect to the apparent deferral in covering the late previous Governor of Oyo State, Senator Abiola Ajimobi, the Oyo State Government wishes to put on record that there is no fact in the gossip getting out and about that the internment is being postponed by the state government.

The talk, which is as a rule intentionally spread to give the state government an awful name and to play undue legislative issues with the dead, at first dropped by the method of web based life tattle, which picked up footing to pull in the consideration of conventional media outfits.

A few media outfits contacted the Media Office of the Governor of Oyo State to make enquiries on this obvious deception on Saturday.

Leave it alone expressed obviously that the Governor of Oyo State, Engineer Seyi Makinde, has assumed no job at all in causing any defer at all with respect to the entombment of his quick antecedent, Senator Ajimobi.

The reality of the situation is that the family, through an intermediary, moved toward the state government and looked for endorsement to cover the late representative on a plot of land at Agodi GRA, which is as of now under suit.

By chance, it was a similar previous Governor Ajimobi who established the lawful activity.

Senator Seyi Makinde had no way out than to express the realities as they are to the emissaries and turn down the solicitation.

Senator Makinde, be that as it may, against the built up land use rule in Oyo State, gave endorsement that the family can cover the late representative in his Oluyole Estate habitation.

It is to be noticed that the standards controlling area use in Government Reservation Areas (GRA) deny the internment of bodies in such areas as Oluyole Estate and Agodi GRA.

Let us likewise put on record that though the family didn’t follow the set down conventions in passing data on the ailment and possible downfall of Senator Ajimobi, Governor Makinde disregarded all that and coordinated the full collaboration of the legislature with the family on this issue.

It can just add up to an insidious lie to intimate that the occupant government in Oyo State endeavored to block the entombment of the quick past senator.”

Late Governor Ajimobi will be covered today June 27.
