The wife of Oyo State governor, Dr. Florence Ajimobi, has cried out that some members of the opposition parties have started circulating false audio files, using her voice.
Addressing women yesterday at an empowerment programme at the Lekan Salami Stadium, Ibadan, Mrs. Ajimobi said the audio manipulation was to discredit her husband Governor Abiola Ajimobi, claiming that he is retiring from politics because of age.
She urged the people not only to disregard the audio broadcast, but to also support her husband’s ambition to return to the Senate as the lawmaker representing Oyo South.
Speaking about the purported audio broadcast circulating on social media, Mrs. Ajimobi said she couldn’t have imagined that people would stoop so low to the extent of defaming her and her husband, all in the name of politics.
She said: “Yesterday (Wednesday), some people mimicked my voice, saying my husband is no longer interested in politics because he’s too old. I didn’t say anything of such and the audio broadcast is not from me.
“Besides, age is just a number. Some persons are fifty something years old and they are not as sensible and reasonable as my husband.
“I have handed them over to God. As they plan to defame me, God will defame them. I will not mention their names; they have started circulating it online.
“I am scared. I thought those who go on holy pilgrimage regularly should be holy and righteous, but they are just wicked people. Some of them were given tickets in the All Progressives Congress (APC), yet they betrayed us and left for another party, diverting the benefits that should have come to our people.”
