Idris, son of former Oyo State governor, Abiola Ajimobi, has said that his father’s death has created a gap.
Idris, who got married to the daughter of Governor Umar Ganduje of Kano State, said he, as well as other family members, would miss the rare qualities of his father.
The son of the deceased, while describing his father as a man of courage and integrity, said his death dealt a blow to the family.
Idris spoke during an interview with journalists in Ibadan, on Sunday, shortly after his father’s burial at his Oluyole Estate residence.
The young man said his father was perfect in whatever he did.
“I would always strive for perfection in fatherhood and in being a husband. My father was as perfect as he could be.
“As a leader, he preached peace, togetherness and love at all times. He never promoted violence.
“I will miss all about him; everything about him. Words cannot be used to express what we are feeling as a family. But, it is up to us to live on and continue with his legacy.
“As he said in an interview which he granted recently, if God could give him up to age 70, he would be grateful.
“We will just continue to develop his life’s accomplishments and try our best as we can to continue his legacy.”
