Odebiyi: Why I Remain a Senator to Win

Olufemi “Femi” Odebiyi is a Nigerian politician who was elected Senator for Ogun West in 2023. In a recent interview he explained that he chose to stay in the Senate rather than seek another office because he believes the chamber gives him the best platform to deliver development projects, influence national legislation, and build the political support needed to win future elections—particularly a possible run for higher office such as governor or president. He emphasized using his legislative role to bring federal resources to his constituents while positioning himself for long‑term political success. Views Nigeria
