Controversy Over Ajimobi’s Burial As OYO Government and the Family Disagree Over Burial Site.
The delay in the burial of the late former governor of Oyo State, Senator Abiola Ajimobi has been attributed to a clash between the late politician’s family and the state governor, Seyi Makinde.
Ajimobi’s death was announced on Thursday, June 25, 2020, and according to Islamic injunction, he was supposed to have been buried immediately or hours after his death.
According to ThePunch, the late former governor’s burial was delayed because his family and Oyo State government had not concluded on where to bury him.
A source, who spoke in strict confidence to the newspaper disclosed that the state government is not pleased with Ajimobi family’s burial plans.
The source said, “The family of the late Acting Chairman of the All Progressives Congress had made plans for the burial the following day after the death of their patriarch. They had got in touch with the state government for necessary burial approval; they were however rebuffed.
“The government official that the family got in touch with said they could not take action on the matter without approval from the governor, Seyi Makinde. The official also informed us that it has been difficult to pin down the governor for the approval.”
