WATCH THE VIDEO HERE The Chairman of Ayobo-Ipaja Local Council Development Area (LCDA), Mrs Bolatito Shobowale, has died, Business Post has confirmed. She passed away on Friday after a prolonged battle with illness and three days after her deputy, Mr Ladi Oluwaloni, was asked to become the acting chairman of the council due to her long absence from work. Mrs Shobowale had been away from her office for about six months, preventing the presentation of the 2025 budget to the council lawmakers for approval. There had been underground grumbling within the LCDA until Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu stepped in and approved the appointment of Mr Oluwaloni as the acting chairman. Recent council activities had been carried out without the deceased, including the welcoming of the Governor Advisory Council (GAC) led by Mr Femi Pedro and the presentation of work tools to some residents who completed an empowerment programme sponsored by the state government. Reacting to the death of Mrs Shobowale, the chairman of Alimosho Local Government Area, Mr Jelili Sulaimon, said she would be missed. Mr Sulaimon, in a statement signed by his media aide, Mr Babatunde Yusuf, described the deceased, fondly called Mama Show, as a mother to all and a good administrator who is ever willing to see Ayobo-Ipaja LCDA progress positively. According to him, Mrs Shobowale, elected into office in 2021, committed herself to the growth and development of council until her death.
