President Muhammadu Buhari-led government of Nigeria has been urged to name Ibadan Airport after the former governor of Oyo State, Senator Abiola Ajimobi, as a way of immortalising him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Nigerian Senate made the request during its plenary on Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ajimobi<\/a>, the immediate past governor of Oyo State died last month after contracting the dreaded COVID-19 infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the plenary, a point of order was moved by Senator Abdulfatai Buhari (Oyo North), urging the Senate to pay tribute to the departed former Senator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The senators also observed a minute silence to honour the deceased.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
