Opinions may differ, but facts remain undeniable. It becomes deeply concerning when misinformation spreads about the performance of public office holders. The record of Honourable Barrister Olufemi Adeleke Ogunbanwo, popularly known as Omo-Iwa, clearly demonstrates a transformative approach to representation in Ijebu Central Federal Constituency.

With a solid academic background and decades of professional experience, Omo-Iwa has proven himself to be a skilled legislator. As a legal practitioner, he brings deep knowledge of law and governance to his work at the House of Representatives of Nigeria, contributing meaningfully to legislative debates and committee engagements.

Beyond legislative duties, his representation has translated into visible development initiatives and empowerment programmes across the constituency.
