Oyo State Governor Abandons Official Duties Over Wife’s Missing Diamond Necklace

Oyo State governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi was reported to have recently abandoned his official duties to sympathize with his wife who was in a bad mood after her precious diamond necklace was stolen.

According to a report culled from the News of the People magazine, the highly must respected First Lady is said to be in control of the affairs of the state, and no proposal or contract could get approved without her consent.

Read the full excerpt of the magazine report below…

“Two Mondays ago, precisely Monday 23rd July 2012, His Excellency, Senator Isiaka Ajimobi was absent at the State’s exco meeting. Shortly after the meeting, apparently worried members called at his residence to inquire what could have gone wrong.

The bespectacled governor simply told his kitchen cabinet members that he was not in the very best of mood; hence his absence at his meeting. Obviously, Her Excellency, the First Lady of the Pacesetter state, Florence Ajimobi was not in a good mood after her diamond necklace had allegedly been stolen, and her husband had to show concern by staying back to empathize with her.

That Florence wields so much power in Oyo state might be stating the obvious. Aside domestic affairs, her staying power has equally extended to how things are done in the state and it’s very obvious to those in the game. For instance, the appointment of caretaker members for the Local governments in the state last year, had a greater input of the First Lady.
