Rep. Owolewa was elected shadow representative of the United States House of Representatives for the District of Columbia, in November 2020, and had been re-elected.

The statement indicated that the visiting U.S. politician has since dedicated his time and energy to advocating for DC Statehood and Equality.

Owolewa participated in the historic March 2019 Lobby Day, which resulted in a majority of members of the House supporting DC Statehood for the first time in American history. (NAN)
