The Chairman of Ayobo-Ipaja Local Council Development Area, Mrs Bola Sobowale is dead, reports thegazellenews.com
The death of Mrs Sobowale was reported on Friday, 21 March, 2025 after a protracted illness.
Thegazellenews.com reports further that Mrs Sobowale has been sick for a long time which precipitated a successor crisis at the council.
She was reported not to be favourably inclined towards handing over to her deputy while seeking medical treatment handing over instead to the Council Manager.
However, three days ago, the Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu swore in Sobowale’s deputy, Oluwaloni in acting capacity.
Sobowale was a veteran and very resourceful grassroots politician.
She was Secretary to the Alimoso Local Government between 1999 and 2000 during the reign of Sir Ayo Akinyemi as the Council Chairman when there was no LCDA.
