Ajimobi was governor of Oyo from 2011 till 2019, when he completed his second term.

He won his first term as governor on the platform of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), and secured a second term victory as a candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

He broke a 39-year record in the history of the state by being the first governor to secure a second term in office.

The burial of the former governor has been scheduled for Sunday.
