Former Oyo State First Lady, Florence Ajimobi, has firmly denied allegations accusing her of offering bribes to lawmakers in a purported plot to impeach Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde.
In a statement issued by her media office, Ajimobi described the claims as “entirely false and baseless,” insisting they were fabricated to tarnish her image and mislead the public.
Lawmakers Also Reject Allegations
The denial follows earlier rebuttals by members of the Oyo State House of Assembly, including Hon. Gbenga Oyekola and Deputy Speaker Hon. Abiodun Mohammed Fadeyi, who both dismissed any involvement in an alleged impeachment scheme.
The lawmakers also denied receiving financial inducements or participating in any plot aimed at destabilising the state government.
No Meeting, No Impeachment Plot — Ajimobi
Ajimobi further refuted claims that she attended or hosted meetings—whether in Lagos or elsewhere—where plans to influence the Assembly were discussed.
According to the statement, she neither convened nor participated in any gathering intended to discuss impeachment or disrupt governance in Oyo State.
‘Malicious Political Propaganda’
Describing the reports as “malicious political propaganda,” Ajimobi said the allegations were part of a deliberate attempt to discredit her, particularly among the people of Oyo State.
She also distanced herself from the activities of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state, stating that the claims were rooted in mischief and “reverse propaganda.”
Commitment to Peace and Possible Legal Action
Reaffirming her commitment to democratic values and stability, Ajimobi maintained that she has never engaged in actions capable of undermining peace in the state.
Her media office urged the public to disregard the allegations, warning that the spread of false information could heighten political tensions. It also indicated that legal action may be pursued if the claims are not withdrawn.
Despite the controversy, Ajimobi remains focused on her humanitarian work and broader societal contributions, undeterred by what she described as “unfounded and mischievous claims.”
