Former First Lady of Oyo State and ambassador-designate to Austria, Florence Ajimobi, has dismissed allegations linking her to an alleged financial inducement scheme aimed at influencing members of the Oyo State House of Assembly to impeach Governor Seyi Makinde.
In a statement issued by her media office, Mrs. Ajimobi described the claims as “entirely false, baseless, and a deliberate act of disinformation” designed to tarnish her reputation and mislead the public.
She firmly denied hosting or participating in any meeting in Lagos or elsewhere where discussions on impeachment or destabilisation of the Oyo State Government were purportedly held.
“At no time did I convene, attend, or participate in any such meeting with any individual or group for the purpose of discussing impeachment or destabilising the Oyo State Government,” the statement read.

“Any attempt to associate my name with such a plot is purely mischievous and a deliberate act of character assassination,” she said.
The former First Lady also clarified that she has no involvement in the affairs of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Oyo State, noting that her focus remains on her humanitarian and professional engagements.
The statement added that some lawmakers, including Hon. Gbenga Oyekola and Deputy Speaker, Hon. Abiodun Mohammed Fadeyi, had similarly denied any involvement in an impeachment plot or receipt of inducements from political actors.
Reaffirming her commitment to peace and stability, Ajimobi urged the public to disregard the circulating reports, warning that the continued spread of false information could attract legal consequences if not retracted.

“I will not be distracted by unfounded and mischievous claims aimed at dragging my name into political controversies,” she added.
