Abiola Ajimobi passed away today at the age of 70. He fell ill after contracting the deadly coronavirus. Sadly his health continued to deteriorate and he never recovered.
From a video of his that has now emerged, he clearly relished reaching 70, saying it was enough if he did.
According to Ajimobi, his father died at 69, just two months before clocking 70. Therefore, he always prayed to God to let him reach 70, saying once he reached 70, it was enough for him.
However, he went on to reveal that once he attained 70, he started praying to God again to let him reach 94.
