The immediate past governor of Oyo State, Abiola Ajimobi, is still in a state of comatose and not dead, AllNews understands.
The acting national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has been in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of First Cardiology Consultants Hospital, Ikoyi, Lagos, since he was rushed to the medical centre recently after it emerged he had contracted the dreaded Coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
Strong rumours of Ajimobi's death filtered in this evening.
'Fisayo Soyombo, a well-known Nigerian journalist posted on his social media handles that a 'credible' source informed him Ajimobi is late.
A source who has never failed me in six years of knowing him has just confirmed to me the death, in Lagos today, of Abiola Ajimobi, former Governor of Oyo State, due to underlying health conditions worsened by the Coronavirus.

May his soul rest in peace.
However, the likes of social media personalities, Kemi Olunloyo and Dele Momodu plus Bolaji Tunji, media aide to the former governor debunked the colossal politician's death speculation.
A daughter of 'Koseleri', Fatima Ganduje-Ajimobi as well said - through her known Twitter handle - that the ex-Governor "is still alive".
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...

Furthermore, a family source, who confirmed the present health state of the 70-year-old to SaharaReporters on Thursday night, said, "Ajimobi is alive. He only slipped into coma. We are praying to God for his revival."
