The chairman, National Tax Policy Implementation Committee (NTPIC), Engr Joseph Tegbe has honoured the memory of late former governor of Oyo State, Senator Abiola Ajimobi.
Today, we honour the memory of Senator Abiola Adeyemi Ajimobi on his 76th posthumous birthday; a statesman whose life was defined by courage, clarity of purpose, and uncommon grit.
You believed deeply in order, progress, and excellence, and you pursued them with discipline and conviction. Your leadership was firm but thoughtful, bold yet strategic. You governed with a clear sense of direction, leaving behind structures, systems, and standards that continue to shape Oyo State.
Your intellectual depth, sharp wit, and commanding eloquence set you apart. You asked hard questions, made difficult decisions, and never shied away from responsibility. Even in disagreement, you compelled attention and commanded respect.
Beyond public life, you were a devoted family man, a loyal friend, and a mentor to many. You invested in people as much as you invested in institutions, believing that leadership was ultimately about impact and continuity.
At 76, your presence is missed, but your influence endures, in the people you developed, in the infrastructure you championed, and in the culture of purposeful governance you advanced. Your legacy remains a reference point, not a footnote.
On this day, we remember you not with sorrow, but with gratitude, for a life of service, courage, and conviction.
Keep resting, Leader. Your name, your work, and your legacy live on.
