Abisola Ajimobi Calls The Shots

IN every kingdom, no matter how wise and knowledgeable the king may be, there is always a man or woman who has the king’s ears on every matter. Such a person is readily favoured and positioned to be one of the forces around whom the king forms his ‘kitchen cabinet’ in Oyo State, where Governor Abiola Ajimobi dictates the pace of governance.

The person who enjoys the afore stated status is not someone far-away from him or whom he met through politics or any corporate engagement. It is his own blood, Abisola, his daughter and wife of Kolapo Kola-Daisi.

It is not that Abisola is grounded in politics and public administration, neither has she learnt the ropes of governance from anywhere or anyone. Well respected by many people in her father’s cabinet because of her stern composure, Abisola, is seen as the most powerful woman in Oyo State right from the beginning of her father’s administration.

While there have been no reports of friction between herself and any of her father’s aides, she is reputed to carry around her aura of power which makes many to genuflect as she traverses the corridors of power. It is no wonder that her phones are always ring incessantly due to calls from favour-seekers who need one thing or the other from her father.
