Femi Oluwole

In July 2019, Richard Tice, chair of the Brexit Party, threatened to sue Oluwole for alleged claims of antisemitism.

Oluwole has worked in non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and human rights agencies. At the age of 27 left his job and moved into his parents’ loft to become a campaigner against Brexit, telling the Evening Standard that he made the decision to quit because he was “frustrated that the pro-Remain argument was not being made effectively by mainstream politicians.” In pursuing this, Oluwole created the social media channel Our Future Our Choice in September 2017, which, with the collaboration of Will Dry and Lara Spirit, who had launched an anti-Brexit student activism movement in universities, was incorporated as a company on 19 February 2018. The group advocates a pro-EU message from a youth standpoint and claims that it will be the younger generation who will have to deal with the economic and political crisis that results from Brexit. Oluwole has toured the United Kingdom, engaging the public in discussions about the European Union. He has also supported the call for a People’s Vote.

Femi Oluwole (born March 1990) is a British political activist and co-founder of the pro-European Union advocacy group Our Future Our Choice (OFOC).

Oluwole was born in Darlington to a surgeon father and a paediatrician mother, who both emigrated to the United Kingdom in the 1980s. He grew up in the West Midlands but as a child lived in several different places across the country, having once attended a school in Dundee. He was privately educated at the Yarm School, and went on to study law and the French language at the University of Nottingham, while completing an Erasmus Programme year in France.
