IgbereTV reports that former Governor of Oyo State, Abiola Ajimobi, had revealed that he has always told God to keep him alive to see the age of 70.
Ajimobi revealed this during an interview with Splash FM some weeks before he was hospitalized. Ajimobi, who spoke in Yoruba language during the interview, said his father died two months before he clocked the age of 70.
However, he died on Thursday at the age of 70.
Ajimobi said: “I do tell God it’s enough once I clock the age of 70.
“My dad died with just two months to clock 70. So, I always say If I could make it to 70, then it’s enough. But when I was close and experiencing the goodness of life, I told God 70 is too small.”
Isiaka Abiola Ajimobi, the former governor and former senator of Oyo State was born on the 16th of December 1949.
