Sola Giwa, the Special Adviser on Transportation to Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has resigned from his position in the Lagos State government.
Giwa announced his resignation in a post on his official account on X (Twitter) on Wednesday.
According to him, the decision to step down from the role was made after careful reflection as he prepares to pursue a new political ambition.
“Yesterday, I stepped down from my role as Special Adviser on Transportation to the Governor of Lagos State,” Giwa wrote.
“It has been an honor to serve and contribute to the transformation of our transport system under the THEMES+ Agenda. I remain grateful to Mr. Governor for the trust and opportunity,” he added.
Giwa said his resignation is tied to his plan to seek representation for Lagos Island Federal Constituency II in the House of Representatives (Nigeria).
He explained that the move followed extensive consultations with political stakeholders and supporters.
“After deep reflection and wide consultations, I am answering a higher call to represent the good people of Lagos Island Federal Constituency II in the House of Representatives,” he said.
“This next chapter is about stronger representation, purposeful legislation, and delivering real impact for our people.”
Giwa served as a key member of Governor Sanwo-Olu’s administration, particularly in implementing transport policies aligned with the state government’s THEMES+ development agenda.
His resignation signals the beginning of what could become a political contest for the Lagos Island Federal Constituency II seat in the coming elections.
