Just In: Late Ajimobi’s Eldest Child Dies At 44

In a shocking turn of events, the family of the late Governor of Oyo State, Senator Abiola Ajimobi, is plunged into mourning as news breaks that his first child, Bisola Kola-Daisi, has died at the age of 44. The heartbreaking announcement came early Thursday morning, March 27, 2025, revealing that Bisola succumbed to a brief illness while in the United Kingdom.

Bisola, a prominent figure in Nigeria’s luxury retail scene and a dedicated philanthropist, was not just known for her family legacy but also for her significant contributions to the business world.

As the Managing Director of Grandex Nigeria Ltd., a leading FMCG retail and wholesale chain established in 1984, and the founder of the prestigious Florence H. Luxury boutique, she carved out a name for herself in an industry often dominated by men.

Married to the well-respected Ibadan-born politician and bank executive Kolapo Kola-Daisi, Bisola was a devoted mother to three children. Her husband took to social media to express his devastation, stating, “The world has lost a shining star. Bisola was not just my wife; she was my partner in everything. Her spirit will live on in our children.”

Before her untimely death, Bisola served as a special adviser to Atiku Bagudu, Nigeria’s Minister of Budget and Planning, showcasing her commitment to public service and economic development. Friends and colleagues have described her as a beacon of light, always ready to lend a helping hand and inspire those around her.

As the news spreads, tributes are pouring in from across the nation, with many remembering Bisola for her vibrant personality and unwavering dedication to her work and family.

The Ajimobi family is now faced with the unimaginable task of mourning their beloved daughter while honoring her legacy in both business and philanthropy.

Details regarding the funeral arrangements are yet to be announced, but one thing is certain: Bisola Kola-Daisi’s impact on those who knew her will never be forgotten.
