A recent incident at a funeral service has captured public attention, as a video showing Florence Ajimobi, widow of the late Oyo State Governor Abiola Ajimobi, snubbing Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun has gone viral. The exchange took place during the burial of Adeniyi Adeosun, the husband of former Finance Minister Kemi Adeosun, on August 14, 2026.
In the footage, Governor Abiodun approached Ajimobi to greet her, but she turned her back and refused to acknowledge him, a moment that was recorded and shared widely on social media. This public display of disregard has sparked conversations about the underlying tensions between the two political figures.
During the service, Dr. Zach Adedeji, the chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), appeared to intervene in an attempt to mediate between Ajimobi and Abiodun. However, his efforts were unsuccessful as Ajimobi maintained her stance, further intensifying the scrutiny of their relationship.
The incident has resonated with many Nigerians online, who have expressed their views on the matter, reflecting on the broader implications of such public interactions among political leaders. The nature of the snub, particularly occurring at a funeral, has led to a flurry of reactions, with many questioning the dynamics of political relationships in the region.
As the video continues to circulate, it remains to be seen how this incident will affect the public perception of both Ajimobi and Abiodun, especially given the historical context of their political affiliations and past interactions.
