His death was unexpected and painful because he died at a time that his wealth of experience was needed by the nation,especially his political party All Progressive Congress (APC).
Governor Ajimobi was endowed with supernatural wisdom and intelligence, the virtues which he displayed in the governance of the State in particular and the nation

He was a stateman of note as he served as a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and Governor of Oyo State in two consecutive terms (2011 -2019) hence he became the “Koseleri” Governor. As the helmsman of the State he embarked on several infrastructural development across the State. He was an amiable and humorous personality. He impacted positively on so many lives especially his political associates.
He was able to change the political landscape of the State through his threepoints agenda of restoration, transformation and repositioning.
He made his impact in govemance, he greatly improved the environmental sanitation especially in the Capital City of Ibadan. There was monumental improvement in terms of security of lives and properties while brigandage was reduced to its bearest minimum.
Governor Ajimobi was no doubt a renowned captain of industry, successful manager, seasoned administrator, political juggernaut, responsible family man and fan of his political followers. His sense of humour cannot be easily forgotten.
