The Chairman, House Committee on Local Government at the Lagos State House of Assembly, Sobur Olayiwola Olawale, popularly called Omititi, has been reported to have died after he slumped while returning from the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign rally kick-off in Jos, Plateau State capital.
As gathered, the lawmaker, who represents Mushin II, was said to rushing with other Lagos Assembly members to board their flight back home when he suddenly slumped at the airport in Jos, and all efforts to resuscitate him proved abortive.
Members of the Lagos APC that attended the campaign rally flagged off by President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday narrated that Olawale, who celebrated his 58th birthday barely eight months ago, did not show any sign of sickness before he slumped and was pronounced dead by medical experts.
The deceased lawmaker recently participated in a novelty football match played to celebrate the Speaker’s 50th birthday anniversary where he was the goalkeeper and saved many goal-bound shots for his team.
Aside from that, a family source told The Guild that the deceased lawmaker was planning to bankroll one of his child’s wedding ceremonies in the state.
