In 2019, Osinowo eyed the Senate and pulled his political weight to replace the then incumbent, Senator Gbenga Ashafa, to represent Lagos East. Described as the ‘unofficial leader’ of the Lagos Assembly during his time as a member, Osinowo was instrumental to the emergence of two Speakers.gathered that he once took a former member, Adeyemi Ikuforiji, to Tinubu on behalf of other members for endorsement as a Speaker, and also played a vital role in the emergence of the current Speaker, Mudashiru Obasa with the support of Aregbesola.
In a tribute, a former Chip Whip of the Assembly, Rotimi Abiru, who is among the recalled lawmaker, described Osinowo as an astute grass root politician, thorough progressive, a political pathfinder and liberator, a cheerful giver and a super benefactor to many. He added that the deceased’s sense of humour which he often used to inject life and to douse tension inside at the Lagos Assembly when he was a member was another quality and attribute that described and stood him out.
