Dr. Adewale Kolapo Kareem (AKK), a leading aspirant for the 2027 Oyo State governorship under the All Progressives Congress (APC), has extended warm congratulations to Dr. Mrs. Florence Ajimobi following her nomination as an Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Nigeria by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
In a statement issued on Sunday, November 30, 2025, Dr. Kareem described the nomination of the former First Lady of Oyo State as “worthy, apt, and a perfect reward for her brilliance, governance experience, and quiet diplomacy.”
He praised Dr. Ajimobi as a matriarch of the Ajimobi political dynasty and a figure of “unparalleled grace,” noting that her years as First Lady from 2011 to 2019 were marked by impactful contributions to women’s empowerment, education, and public health. He added that her longstanding involvement in community development and crisis mediation makes her “a natural diplomat,” and that her nomination is a fitting acknowledgment of her service.
Dr. Kareem expressed confidence that the Nigerian Senate would confirm her nomination without hesitation, allowing her to represent the country with excellence on the global stage. According to him, Dr. Ajimobi possesses the poise, intellect, and global awareness needed to advance Nigeria’s interests internationally.
He further highlighted her personal qualities—resilience, humility, compassion, and commitment to service—describing her as a role model for dignified leadership. He stated that her late husband, former Governor Abiola Ajimobi, would have been proud of the honour, which he said further cements the family’s legacy of public service.
Dr. Kareem also congratulated the other ambassadorial nominees and wished them successful confirmations and impactful service in strengthening Nigeria’s diplomatic presence worldwide.
The statement concluded with prayers for Dr. Ajimobi’s continued success as she prepares for her new national assignment, reaffirming Dr. Kareem’s belief that the appointment reflects positively on Oyo State and its contribution to national leadership.
