Governor Abiodun was joined on the visit by former Ekiti State Governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi.


Sharing photos from the visit on X (formerly Twitter), Governor Abiodun wrote, "Today, we paid a condolence visit to Her Excellency, Mrs. Florence Ajimobi, to commiserate with her and the entire family over the devastating loss of her beloved daughter, Mrs. Bisola Kola-Daisi.


'Words fail to convey the depth of our sorrow at this heartbreaking moment. Bisola’s passing is an unspeakable tragedy, not just for the Ajimobi family, but for all of us who have had the privilege of knowing and loving this remarkable soul. She was a beacon of warmth, elegance, and compassion, whose presence brightened every room she entered.


"The pain of losing a child is a burden no parent should ever bear, and I can only imagine the anguish that Her Excellency and the family are enduring at this time. I pray that the Almighty grants them the fortitude to navigate this dark valley and the grace to find healing in cherished memories.


"The Ajimobi and Abiodun families have shared bonds of brotherhood and friendship for many years, and this loss strikes us deeply and personally. As always, we stand with the family in love, in prayers, and in unwavering support.


"May the soul of our dearly departed Bisola rest in perfect peace, and may light perpetual shine upon her.
