Omowumi Ogunlola, who is currently the Federal Commissioner representing Ekiti State at the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission, has officially ruled out the possibility of contesting for a seat in the National Assembly during the upcoming 2027 general elections. Her announcement came during a media event in Ado Ekiti, where she emphasized the importance of her current role in providing qualitative service to both the nation and her home state.

Despite being seen as a strong candidate capable of making a comeback to the House of Representatives, Ogunlola decided to prioritize her responsibilities in the federal commission over political ambitions. Known for her popularity and solid track record as both a state and federal lawmaker, her decision to withdraw from the electoral race has surprised many who expected her to leverage her support base in Ekiti Central Federal Constituency II.

Ogunlola's commitment to serving her state remains evident, as she stated that while she will not be contesting in 2027, she remains open to other avenues of service in the future. This reflects her dedication to the public and signifies a strategic decision to focus on impactful governance rather than personal political pursuits at this time.
