Former Oyo Senator Abiola Ajimobi died on Thursday after suspected COVID-19 complications.

Tributes are pouring the late’s politician’s antecedents.

While he was Governor, he was well-known with three of these nicknames.

1. Constituted Authority

You guessed right! That is indisputably the most popular nickname of the late politician.

In reminiscence, Ajimobi had expressly pronounced himself ‘constituted authority’ in 2017 whilst students of the Oyo/Osun states’ tly-owned Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), Ogbomosho protested at Oyo Secretariat over the elongated lockdown of their institution as a result of nonpayment of lecturers.

The former governor described himself the ‘constituted authority’ in accordance with the 1999 constitution although that infuriated the youths the more, a reason the name sticks till date.

2. ‘Pe egun re’ 1

Roughly translated, the Yoruba expressions means ‘Number One jinx-breaker’ or ‘record breaker’

In the history of Oyo state, no politician had served as governor for two apart from Ajimobi.

Christopher Alao-Akala, a close rival, was only a deputy governor under Chief Rashidi Ladoja and later served out the t tenure after his boss was impeached.

He went on to serve a full tenure of four years as governor.

In the case of Ajimobi, he was elected governor on two occassions – in 2011 and 2015. This was found groundbreaking as Ibadan, the political headquarters and capital of the state in the agelong belief of never following one person more than once. It was Ajimobi that broke the jinx.

3. The Builder

In this political circle, ers also excite him with eulogy as the builder of Modern Oyo.

Indeed, Oyo rose to be an enviable economic hub during the eight years Ajimobi served, attracting foreign investors and giving facelift to the ancient state.

It's as though the grim reaper had a bet with someone and won massively cos dude is on a rampage. And I pray that the grim reaper will not reason our matter until we've fulfilled our purpose here on earth. Amen.

No to religious terrorism.

You see that voice that is telling you to hate him and telling you to write comments like this, rebuke that voice. I just have a feeling that that guy has won more souls for God here on nairaland than many pastors have in their churches.
Sister, REPENT.

Truth be told Nigerians feel nothing for any politician whether living, dying or dead

Zoie:
The problem I have with Righteousness89 is not his preaching. No.
It is the fact that he doesn't demonstrate emotional intelligence.
How can you read that someone died and next thing "if he didn't believe in Jesus, by now he's roasting in hell"?
It reeks of apathy. And that's just one among many things he says.
Nairaland is a secular forum, there's religion section, to write your posts but no. Every post you find him threatening fire and brimstone on non believers.

THIS MUST STOP.
If Righteousness89 doesn't desist from his ways, I call for a motion to report him till he's banned.
No to religious terrorism.

The gates of hell and its elites are really tormented by that righteous guy. I like that!

lol

Funny that this baba is even more popular at his point of death than ever...

Constituted authority

Koseleri is apparently missing KOSELERI; it has never happened.

Leave the guy alone, your own too much
He has freedom to express himself here just like everyone else. If you don't like his post just , he hasn't broken any rules so far on nairaland. Stop being an Antichrist

To comment on a Muslim forum you have to accept Allah, y'all never complained about that. Now you are calling this a religion terrorism, imagine.

Just let him be. He's doing a great job and he's preaching what he believes in. You too go and preach what you believed in no one is stopping you.

All men must taste death
