In 2019, Jeje debunked reports that he visited the then Lagos State Governor-elect Babajide Sanwo-Olu to lobby for a position in the latter’s proposed cabinet.

Bosun Jeje, former Lagos State Commissioner for Housing during ex-governor Babatunde Fashola’s administration, has died.
Bosun Jeje Campaign Organisation (BOJECO) announced his death in a statement, saying he died on Saturday morning.
The statement said, “The entire BOJECO Group announces the death of the former Commissioner of Housing for Lagos State, Honorable Bosun Jeje, who will be buried this evening at the Ikoyi Cemetery.”
In 2019, he debunked reports that he visited the then Lagos State Governor-elect Babajide Sanwo-Olu to lobby for a position in the latter’s proposed cabinet.
The former commissioner, who was reacting to a story captioned “Sanwo-Olu in trouble as ex-Tinubu, Fashola’s aides lobby for appointments,” said he never craved the attention of the governor-elect for position in the new government.

A statement issued on his behalf by Taiwo Hassan said: “My Bosun Jeje is a legal practitioner, a man of integrity and a professional in politics, who has track records of excellence performance during his service as Honourable Commissioner. His commitment to the party and support for government are also not in doubt.
“It will interest you to know that Mr. Bosun Jeje has not distanced himself from the party’s engagement and activities of Lagos State Government. It is therefore unwarranted to represent Mr Bosun Jeje as craving or lobbying for any position in the new administration. More so, Mr. Bosun Jeje, because of his busy schedule, has not had the opportunity of visiting the Governor-elect in his office, neither has he visited Boudillon recently.”
