Sobur Lawale, the lawmaker representing Mushin Constituency II at the Lagos State House of Assembly, is dead.
Known as Omititi in political circles, Olawale was among the politicians, who stormed Jos, Plateau State capital, for the kick-off of the campaign of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, Presidential Candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) on Tuesday, November 15, 2022.
The deceased reportedly slumped at the rally and died moments later.
An APC chieftain, who craved anonymity, told journalists that he was still with Olawale at the weekend.

“Without preempting the circumstance, this could be high blood pressure. Whatever could have led to his death, this is so shocking and sad.”
