Young Nigerian-born Democrat,oye, Elected As United States House Of Representati by cynthia9: 3:46pm On Nov 04, 2020 |
Nigerian, Oye Owolewa, has been elected to the United States Congress. Owolewa from Kwara, who holds a doctor of philosophy (Ph.D.) degree in Pharmacy from the North-Eastern University, Boston, contested on the platform of the Democratic Party as a ‘shadow’ (non-voting) House of Representative member out of the District of Columbia (DC). SaharaReporters gathered the 31-year-old politician is the first Nigerian congressman in the country’s history. Sharing the news on his Facebook page, he wrote, “Good morning. Looks like we did it! I want to thank everyone, from family and close friends to DC residents. Because of your contributions and sacrifices, I stand before you as America's first Nigerian-American congressman. “In this role, I'm going to fight for DC statehood and bring our values to the lawmaking process. While today is a day for some celebration, the hard work also follows. Again, thanks so much for everything. I wouldnt be here without you all.” http://saharareporters.com/2020/11/04/young-nigerian-born-democrat-oye-elected-united-states-house-representative-member?fbclid=IwAR0HB-Ae-Ot7OlsdPL5nkumGjaylvRnVIa07EIP1HzscumOslenwlsvwVcE Lalasticlala
