By Muhammad Sabiu
Honourable Abdulsobur Olayiwola Olawale, a member of the Lagos State House of Assembly, has passed away in Jos at the rally of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the presidential candidate for the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The deceased, also known as Omititi, served as a state representative for Mushin II.
A source who spoke to journalists about the death said, “It is true that he died, but you will understand that at this moment, I can’t put out a report to announce the death of a very good friend.
“He slumped and died. We both travelled to Jos and it’s sad to not come back with him to Lagos.”
Bola Tinubu, a 2023 APC presidential candidate, launched his campaign yesterday Tuesday in Plateau State.
Omititi was also the head of the House Committee on Local Government Services in the state assembly.
In 2017, the deceased politician was appointed the Sariki Adeen of Mushin Central Mosque.
