The funeral service for Abisola Kola-Daisi, eldest daughter of the late former Oyo State Governor Abiola Ajimobi, drew dignitaries and loved ones to the Redeemed Christian Church of God (City of David, Trinity Tower) in Victoria Island, Lagos, on Thursday.
Abisola, who died at 44 in London on March 27 after battling illness, was remembered as a compassionate leader and devoted family woman.
Lagos Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, present at the service, described her as a figure of “warmth, kindness, and unwavering spirit” in a heartfelt social media tribute.
Oyo State House Speaker Adebo Ogundoyin also attended, urging others to uphold the “empathy and kindness” Abisola embodied.
Sharing photos from the event on X.com, Sanwo-Olu wrote, “Today, I attended the funeral service of late Abisola Kola-Daisi nee Ajimobi. Abisola’s warmth, kindness, and unwavering spirit touched many, and her absence will be deeply felt.
“My thoughts and prayers are with her family, as they navigate this painful time. May her soul rest in peace.”
“May her gentle soul rest in peace, and may God comfort her family, especially her husband, Kolapo Kola-Daisi, and their children during this difficult time.
“May we continue to uphold the values of empathy and kindness that Abisola embodied during her lifetime. May her legacy live on through her family. Rest in peace, Abisola.”
The private interment followed the ceremony, as the family navigates their second major loss following Senator Ajimobi’s 2020 COVID-related death.
Abisola, a luxury retail entrepreneur and Special Adviser to Budget Minister Atiku Bagudu, leaves behind her husband Kolapo Kola-Daisi and three children.
Condolences also poured in from President Bola Tinubu, Oyo Governor Seyi Makinde, and others, with Tinubu calling her demise “unexpected and heartbreaking”.
She is survived by her husband, Kolapo Kola-Daisi and three children.
