Seyi Adisa wrote:
“Five years ago today, I received the call I hoped would never come.
“My boss, mentor, and father-figure had transited to glory.
“Senator Abiola Adeyemi Ajimobi was more than a leader — he was a builder of people. He gave me a platform, mentored me deeply, welcomed me into his family, and gave me the wings to soar. Through his guidance, I found courage, clarity, and conviction. He modeled what it meant to lead with purpose and boldness, shaping the foundations of my professional journey.
“In private life, he rose to lead multinationals. In public service, he made history — first as a distinguished Senator and then as the first two-term Governor of Oyo State.
“Today, I remember, honour, and celebrate the life and legacy of the Koseleri himself — the man who redefined governance and left a mark too deep to erase.
Rest on, Sir.
Your impact lives on.
Your legacy continues to lead us.
