Hon Fatai Kasumu joined politics fully after he retired from the Lagos state Civil service and contested for the Lagos House of Assembly during the reign of General Sani Abacha. However before they could sit, that Republic was truncated by the sudden death of the Late Head of state.

Going down memory lane he said “we had just received our certificates of return and preparing to begin sitting at the House when everything changed. The death of the Head of state changed it all. I returned to my private social and political life because I had resolved to do only one term. I took it as God’s will for me. Because of my unwavering interest in education, I set up LOLAK International schools. I also was engaged in farming and providing my complete background support to the progress of my party, APC.
