Arapaja Oladejo Taofeek , being an established politician has produced many distinguished personalities as graduates of his political tutelage. He has demonstrated through his faith and teachings that power belongs to the Almighty alone and He is the Supreme being who gives power to who he likes .

His Felele residence is a mecca of sorts to politicians and the downtrodden who besiege the place to seek different forms of assistance and supports. Oluomo is indeed a blessing to his generation nay mankind. He has on several occasions stood for the masses, he has championed the cause of the oppressed not only in politics but in the larger society.
