The immediate past Governor of Oyo State, Abiola Ajimobi, is not dead, says his daughter, Fatima.

She said this in a tweet to debunk rumors that the Ajimobi had died on Thursday.

She tweeted, “Thank you for all the messages but our father is still alive, alhamdulillah. When it is our time we will all die so wait first.”

The former governor, who was named the acting National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress on Tuesday, had been on quarantine for over two weeks, battling COVID-19.

Ajimobi, who is 70-year-old is believed to have an underlying illness which is slowing down his recovery.
