Anxiety, speculations swirl over Ajimobi’s health
The anxiety over the health of the former Oyo State governor, Abiola Ajimobi, increased on Thursday evening after his condition reportedly deteriorated, fuelling rumours of his death.
Ajimobi was appointed the acting National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Tuesday following the suspension of Adams Oshiomhole by the Court of Appeal, Abuja.
The former governor is down with an undisclosed illness and receiving treatment in a hospital in Ibadan, the state capital.
