The Senate has asked the Federal Government to rename the Ibadan Airport after the late former governor of Oyo State, Senator Abiola Ajimobi.
At the Senate plenary on Tuesday July 7, Senator Abdulfatahi Buhari urged the Upper Assembly to immortalise Abiola Ajimobi by naming the airport after the former governor.
He also urged that a high-powered delegation be sent to commiserate with the family and the government and people of Oyo State.
Members of the Assembly also observed a minute of silence to honour the deceased.

This comes after the wife of the former governor, Florence Ajimobi, had attacked the governor of the state, Engr. Seyi Makinde and his deputy, Engr. Rauf Olaniyan for playing politics with the death of her husband.
She said her husband never had any problem with the state government despite their different political affiliation, but alleged that the state government saw him as their enemy.
