The Honourable Member representing Alimosho Constituency (II) at the Lagos State House of Assembly, Hon. Kehinde Olaide Joseph, has expressed deep sadness over the passing of Hon. Mrs. Bola Shobowale, the late Council Chairperson of Ayobo-Ipaja LCDA.

Hon. Joseph described Mrs. Shobowale as an accomplished leader, who served Ayobo-Ipaja LCDA with exceptional dedication. He noted that she was a distinguished member of the Conference 57 and a professional politician who played a critical role in shaping the Local Council for good.

“Late Mrs. Bola Shobowale was not only a patriot but also an Elder Stateswoman, whose contributions to the development of Ayobo-Ipaja LCDA will remain indelible,” Hon. Joseph remarked.
