Khloe Kardashian’s best friend, Malika Haqq, has penned down an emotional tribute to former Governor of Oyo state, Abiola Ajimobi who passed away on Thursday, June 25.
The American actress and TV personality, who is friends with one of Ajimobi’s daughters, Abisola, shared some of her photos with the late politician, describing him as an ‘amazing spirit.’
She went on to appreciate him for loving her as his own child and for being a leader in every way.
Haqq wrote;
My heart is broken. This earth has lost one of the most amazing spirits I have ever known. I will miss you forever. Thank you for loving me as one of your own. You are a leader in every way. I will teach my son of your love, kindness and family values. To my Ajimobi family, your angel has taken his rightful place IJN. I love you God daddy. Rest In Peace
This comes a day after the former Governor passed away in First Cardiologist Consultant Hospital in Lagos state as a result of multiple organ failure due to coronavirus complications.

A leader takes people where they want to go. A great leader takes people where they don’t necessarily want to go, but ought to be – Rosalynn Carter.
A quote drummed into my head by my late leader and mentor, Sen Abiola Ajimobi.
