The Oyo State Government has refuted claims that it is responsible for the delay in the burial of the state former governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi.<\/p>\n

Ajimobi, the immediate past governor of Oyo State was pronounced dead on Thursday, June 25, after he had been admitted at a Lagos hospital, where he was being treated after he tested positive for COVID-19.<\/p>\n

Governor Seyi Makinde, in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Taiwo Adisa, said, it can only amount to a wicked lie to insinuate that the incumbent government in Oyo State attempted to obstruct the burial of the immediate past governor.”<\/p>\n

The statement reads: \u201cIn view of the intense enquiries from news media organisations regarding the perceived delay in burying the late former Governor of Oyo State, Senator Abiola Ajimobi, the Oyo State Government wishes to place on record that there is no truth in the rumour making the rounds that the burial is being delayed by the state government.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe rumour, which is being deliberately spread to give the state government a bad name and to play undue politics with the dead, initially came by the way of social media gossip, which gained traction to attract the attention of traditional media outfits.<\/p>\n

\u201cSeveral media outfits reached out to the Media Office of the Governor of Oyo State to make enquiries on this barefaced lie on Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet it be stated clearly that the Governor of Oyo State, Engineer Seyi Makinde, has played no role at all in causing any delay whatsoever regarding the burial of his immediate predecessor, Senator Ajimobi.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe truth of the matter is that the family, through a proxy, approached the state government and sought approval to bury the late governor on a plot of land at Agodi GRA, which is currently under litigation.<\/p>\n

\u201cIncidentally, it was the same former Governor Ajimobi who instituted the legal action.<\/p>\n

\u201cGovernor Seyi Makinde had no choice than to state the facts as they are to the emissaries and turn down the request.<\/p>\n

\u201cGovernor Makinde, however, against the established land use rule in Oyo State, gave approval that the family can bury the late governor in his Oluyole Estate residence.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is to be noted that the rules guiding land use in Government Reservation Areas (GRA) forbid the burial of bodies in such locations as Oluyole Estate and Agodi GRA.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet us also put on record that whereas the family did not follow the laid down protocols in passing information on the sickness and eventual demise of Senator Ajimobi, Governor Makinde overlooked all that and directed the full cooperation of the government with the family on this matter.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt can only amount to a wicked lie to insinuate that the incumbent government in Oyo State attempted to obstruct the burial of the immediate past governor.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
