Oye Owolewa and Esther Agbaje, have been elected into the US Senate to represent the District of Columbia as a shadow congressman and Minnesota House of Representatives respectively.
Owolewa becomes the first Nigerian-American to be elected to the United States of America Congress on Wednesday.
With his nativity in North Central of Nigeria, Kwara State, Owolewa stands to represent Nigeria positively despite the bad names that have been trolling Nigerians as scammers, terrorists and shit-hole people.
Though he will be representing the United States capital in the House of Representatives, Owolewa, however, will not have a vote in the US Congress as he will remain a nominal member.
The first generation Nigerian-American, Owolewa has a doctorate in Pharmacy and was in 2018 elected Commissioner of his neighborhood in Southeast DC.
He has been a champion for Washington D.C. to be given statehood.
He is expected to use his new position to continue the struggle to give the District of Columbia, as the American capital is known, its craving for statehood.
