Ailing immediate past governor of Oyo State, Senator Isiaka Abiola Ajimobi, is now on life support, News Express learnt this Friday morning, June 19, 2020.

Ajimobi, who was diagnosed with COVID-19 about three weeks ago, has been receiving treatment at the upscale Lagos hospital, First Cardiology Consultants. He was rumoured dead last night but family and aides said he was still alive. They asked for prayers, admitting that his situation had become critical.

However, giving an update on his condition, a credible said: “Other than placing him on life support, First Cardiology Consultants is currently not doing anything else on him.”

The source also disclosed that Senator Ajimobi’s “supporters and aides do not have access to him” as people are not being allowed to see him at the hospital.

Senator Ajimobi, who left office upon completing his tenure on May 29 last year, was the Deputy National Chairman (South-West) of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) before the party’s National Working Committee on Tuesday named him the Acting National Chairman following the suspension of the occupant of the post, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, on court order. The appointment was, however, challenged by Chief Victor Giadom, who was previously declared Acting National Chairman on court orders.

Two days ago, News Express reported that Senator Ajimobi was in coma at the highbrow hospital, First Cardiologist, Lagos, after he was diagnosed of the dreaded coronavirus over two weeks earlier.
