Sanwo-Olu praised Olakanle’s dedication to the APC, noting that the chairman was a “loyal politician and an invaluable asset” to the party. "There is no doubt he will be missed by the entire political class, particularly the Onigbongbo LCDA, the Lagos APC family, and the State as a whole," Sanwo-Olu stated.
Olakanle’s tenure as Chairman of Onigbongbo LCDA was marked by his commitment to community development, with Sanwo-Olu acknowledging his positive contributions and lasting impact on the council’s growth. "He would be remembered for creating a lasting legacy," the governor said, "and for his positive contributions to the growth and development of the Onigbongbo LCDA."
Governor Sanwo-Olu concluded by praying for Olakanle’s eternal rest and offering comfort to his family and the people of Onigbongbo LCDA. The statement was shared via Sanwo-Olu's official X (formerly Twitter) account, resonating with many who mourn the respected chairman’s sudden passing.
