This is big news. Former runway queen and winner of the maiden edition of Sisi Oge Beauty Pageant in Lagos State, Damilola Otubanjo has declared her intention to run for the Federal House of Representatives in Ogun State.
She is from Ijebu Waterside. And she has already declared.
She declared her political intention on Tuesday 28th December 2021 at a well-attended press conference, and exco meeting at the APC party secretariat in Abigi, Waterside in Ogun State. MILOLAR, as she is fondly called, has positioned herself as a strong candidate to represent the interest of the people of Ijebu North, Ijebu East, and Ogun Waterside Constituency in the green chamber on the platform of APC in the forthcoming 2023 general elections.Â
Before venturing into politics, Damilola had played both in the Public and Private Sectors of society. She worked with the Lagos State Government, under the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, and then proceeded to Head the Department of Solar in the Lagos State Electricity Board, where she was in charge of all Solar Systems installed in Government Schools and Primary Healthcare Centres across the State.
She then proceeded into Entrepreneurship, as the Creative Director of MILOLAR Group, a Fashion and Beauty business, catering to women in the area of apparel, Lifestyle, and Beauty Products.
She bagged a first degree in Physics with Electronics from Olabisi Onabanjo University and a 2nd degree in Renewable Energy Engineering from Kingston University, London.
She’s has done significant work in humanitarian services spanning over a decade. She’s the Founder of the PinkDove Charitable Initiative, a registered NGO since 2008, training and mentoring young people, raising peer educators and supporting young girls and boys in career path, by establishing clubs and groups for young Secondary schools leavers and Undergraduates in Higher Institutions. She was trained by UNICEF and had gone ahead to train over 2,000 young people on the same path.
She’s passionate, sound and taking the bold step by venturing into the murky waters of Politics. ‘I have tall dreams and I want to see them fulfilled” she added.” Never doubt that small thought, divinely inspired, pursue and fed can change the world, indeed it’s the only thing that ever has, she concluded.
