In separate statements, both leaders mourned the veteran journalist and educationist who passed away at the age of 85. According to Punch Newspapers, Sanwo-Olu described Sobowale as a respected professional who made significant contributions to journalism and public service. Tinubu, in his tribute, hailed Sobowale as a committed educationist who served Lagos State diligently during his tenure as Commissioner for Education.
The two leaders did not disclose the cause of Sobowale’s death or when he passed away. This loss is a significant one for the Nigerian media and political landscape, with Sobowale being a renowned figure in both spheres. As we reflect on his life and achievements, our thoughts are with his family, friends, and colleagues during this difficult time.
