Abiola Kolawole, Ibadan

Ajimobi popularly called Constituted Authority is the only Governor to be re-elected in the state for the second time and thereafter christened himself as “koseleri” meaning it has never happened.

Governor Abiola Ajimobi lost to Dr Balogun, a former Commissioner for Commerce during the administration of Chief Adebayo Alao-Akala.
