The lawmaker representing Ogbomoso North state constituency in the Oyo State House of Assembly, Hon. Olawunmi Oladeji has expressed worry over the recent rejection of some amendment bills on matters concerning women by the National Assembly, saying that the rejection was unacceptable.
She, however, stated that women will not be intimidated by the actions of the National Assembly.

Hon. Oladeji, while soliciting women’s maximum support for any female gender that aspire to contest elective positions, challenged them to come out en masse to vie for political offices in the 2023 election, .
