Like a human giraffe, sniffing down his nostril at mortals beneath his gaze, Olufolarin Ogunsanwo, the beleaguered boss of the money-spinning Lagos Inland Revenue Service (LIRS), in the first few months of Governor Ambode administration, affected the poise of a beautiful bride. He paraded himself as the nearest thing beyond a tin-god so much so that friends, political associates worshipped the ground upon which he walked; albeit reluctantly.
Eventually, like all man-made deities, Olufolarin stopped resembling a ‘god’ or something like one and he was forced to resigned as the head honcho of LIRS and has been replaced with APC chieftain, Chief Bisi Akande’s daughter, Bolaji Akintola.
The suddenness of his descent down the ladder of eminence and acclaim dealt a fatal blow to his psyche; Folarin couldn’t just deal with the fact that he had lost worth like the fast fading smile of a cosmic Cheshire cat.
However, his ugly fate couldn’t be helped by his political godfather, Tinubu; and that is because he happens to be the force behind Governor Ambode’s sweeping whirlwind.
Interestingly, according to the people who are very close to him, Olufolarin was not sacked but retired. Olufolarin is a very brilliant and easy going man who doesn’t know how to play acerbic politics. We believe them.

This is a welcome development from Gov Ambode.The excesses of Mr. Olufolarin Ogunsanwo is long overdue to be checked.Since his appointment,the revenue generated had drastically dropped from what obtained during Fowler's tenure.I pray the substantive chairman would be able to restore the glory of the Agency and also improve staff welfare which Ogunsanwo neglected. @Op, but I was told the new chairman is Owolabi Kamson.
