She served two consecutive terms in the Ondo State House of Assembly, elected in 2011 and re-elected in 2015. During her tenure she was Chairperson of the House Committee on Women Affairs and Social Development, Chairperson of the House Committee on Diaspora, and Deputy Chairperson of the House Committee on Health.
In office, she initiated and co-sponsored several bills and motions including a bill for a social security scheme with monthly stipends for unemployed youths, a motion to preserve Yoruba indigenous language and cultural heritage, and a motion for the implementation of the “Abiye Safe Motherhood” programme for free delivery and healthcare for pregnant women and children under five.

A sports enthusiast, she established the “Kemisola Peace Cup,” the largest youth-based football tournament in Ondo State, with over 25,000 participants. The tournament served as a platform for talent discovery, peace building and community development. Two young footballers from the platform were sponsored overseas. The initiative earned her appointment as Director, Nigeria Female Football League.
In constituency projects, she facilitated power transformers, computer sets, science equipment, mono-pump and motorised boreholes, classroom blocks, open market stalls, and free supply of drugs and medical equipment.
