The Lagos State Government has said the former Governor of Oyo State, Abiola Ajimobi died of multiple organ failure.
Ajimobi died on Thursday at age 70.
Giving details of the ex-governor’s death in his tweets today, Lagos Commissioner for Health, Prof. Akin Abayomi, said the multiple organ failure was caused by complications from COVID-19.
It was reported that Ajimobi later tested negative for COVID-19 but the illness had caused his health to deteriorate.
He was reported to have been on a life support before his demise.
The ex-governor was hospitalised at First Cardiologist and Cardiovascular Consultants Hospital, Lagos on June 2, 2020.
While commiserating with the family of the former Deputy National Chairman (South) of the All Progressives Congress, Abayomi said, “On behalf of COVID-19 Lagos Incident Commander, Babajide Sanwo-Olu and the entire COVID-19 Lagos response team, we convey our heartfelt condolences to the family of the former Governor and the people of Oyo state”.
